What happens to energy when you clap your hands?
The motion of your hands transforms to sound energy.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed; the total amount of energy in a system is always the same.
Fill in the blank: Energy is the ability to do work (cause change) - energy is NOT made of matter (i.e., it doesn’t have mass, nor does it take up _______.
space
What happens to the total energy of a skater when you increase the starting height?
The total energy increases.
As the skater rolls down the ramp, he loses __________ energy and gains __________ energy.
Potential, Kinetic
As the skater rolls up the ramp, he loses __________ energy and gains __________ energy.
Kinetic, Potential
The __________ energy is greatest at the bottom of the ramp while the __________ energy is greatest at the top.
Kinetic, Potential
How does a Newton’s Cradle transfer energy?
When one ball moves, it hits the three middle balls causing the other end ball to move through motion.
How does a Bobblehead transform energy?
It gets its energy from the sun through heat energy.
How does a Rubber Ducky use energy?
Electrical energy inside the duck causes it to move.
Fill in the blank: My skater has a lot of Potential energy converted to __________ when he has a small mass with a lot less Potential energy.
Kinetic
True or False: Increasing the mass of the skater has the same effect on potential energy as increasing the height.
True
