Kinetic and Potential Energy

Question 1

What is Kinetic Energy

Answer 1

The energy associated with moving objects going S PE E D S

Question 2

What determines Kinetic Energy

Answer 2

Mass and S P E E D S

Question 3

What is mass

Answer 3

How many atoms can be shoved into a given substance, and unlike weight, mass is always constant unless something is acted upon it that would make it loose mass

Question 4

What is weight

Answer 4

Weight is caused by gravity, and the weight of an object is dependant on where it is at the time

Question 5

What is one of the newest energy sources?

Answer 5

wind energy

Question 6

What is potential energy?

Answer 6

Energy that is stored somehow and can be release and put to use

Question 7

What are the two types of potential energy

Answer 7

Chemical and gravitational

Question 8

What is gravitational potential energy?

Answer 8

The energy from the gravitational attraction between 2 objects

Question 9

What is Hydroelectric power

Answer 9

A new cleaner source of energy using potential energy of water retained in a dam or water tower

Question 10

What is chemical potential energy

Answer 10

The energy of the chemical bonds between atoms which can be released during a chemical reaction

Question 11

What are the three fossil fuels

Answer 11

Coal, Petroleum, and natural gas

Question 12

What are the benefits of fossil fuels

Answer 12

1) . They are abundant and inexpensive
2) . They are the number one energy source in the world today
3) . Our technology is built to be fueled with fossil fuels
4) . We have clean water, advanced medical care, and comfy homes because of them

Question 13

What are the drawbacks of fossil fuels

Answer 13

Question 14

What is the main risk of oil

Answer 14

It could leak into the ocean and cause massive oil spills

Question 15

What is a famous oil spill

Answer 15

Deepwater horizon

Question 16

What is Thermal energy?

Answer 16

Energy in a substance that gives it its temperature

Question 17

What causes heat

Answer 17

The movement of atoms in the substance

Question 18

I Thermal energy a natural energy source

Answer 18

yep

Question 19

Where does most thermal energy come from?

Answer 19

The earth’s core

Question 20

How does the earth’s core get so hot

Answer 20

THrough the nuclear decay of atoms

Question 21

What is the energy gained from the earth’s thermal energy called

Answer 21

Geothermic energy

Question 22

How is fusion different from fission

Answer 22

Fusion is the fusing of atoms while fission is the splitting of atoms

Question 23

How does fission work?

Answer 23

Via the shooting of a rogue neutron at an atom’s nucleus and playing the most dangerous game of bowling ever where the nucleus is torn apart releasing energy and sending “fission fragments” everywhere which creates a chain reaction between the other bazzilion atoms which do the exact same thing. B O O M Y

Question 24

What is a major drawback of nuclear power

Answer 24

THe waste is highly toxic and there is a small chance of an accident that could effect the whole dang world
