What is gpe? what is gpe formula?
Gpe is types of pe based on objects mass or height. The formula is gpe=mxgxh 9.8 m/s squared
What is kinetic energy and its formula?
Energy of motion, Ke= 1/2mv squared
What are conductors and and example?
Allows energy to flow through easily. Ex: metals
what are insulators and examples?
slows down energy transfer. Ex: Styrofoam, grass
What is the order of energy transformation in a roller coaster?
Chemical energy to mechanical energy (going up) gpe to ke (going down) ke to pe (when down then up)
LCE?
Energy is the same amount b4 and after transformation. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Example of energy transformation
Turning on a light bulb is first electrical energy (outlet) to light energy (bulb glows) to thermal energy (warms up)
Energy transformation at different power plants
Wind turbines converting wind to mechanical energy, then to electricity. Solar panels converting sunlight to electricity.
What is energy efficiency?
Using less energy for the same amount of outcome
What types of light bulbs and appliances are most efficient?
Compact fluorescent lightbulb because it doesn’t take up much energy and lasts 2,000 hours.
What is heat? How does thermal energy transfer?
Movement of thermal energy. Always moves from hot to cold.
What is conduction and examples?
Direct contact/touching ex: pot on stove
Convection?
Heat transferred trough a gas or liquid (circulation) ex: boiling water, ovens air , oceans mantle
radiation
Heat transferred through electromagnetic waves ex: microwave, fire, sun
What is non renewable resources and examples
Has a limited supply once up you have no more Ex: nuclear energy, fossil fuels
Renewable resources and ex
Has a continuing supply mut be supplied faster than it is used up ex: wind energy solar energy, geothermal, biomass, tidal, hydroelectric

atmosphere=
air
If a hypothesis from data of an experiment fails to support what do you do?
1st you cannot change your hypothesis create a new experiment if needed
repetition
completing the experiment multiple times
replication
someone else completes the same experiment
