Energy Concepts and Sources

Front

Relative amounts of kinetic and gravitational potential energy at the highest point in a jump.

Back

No kinetic energy, all gravitational potential energy.

Front

Reason solar energy is not a primary source for generating electricity.

Back

It is too expensive.

Front

Example of electrical energy.

Back

Lightning.

Front

Factors determining potential energy of an object.

Back

Mass and position.

Front

As energy transformations occur within a system, the total energy of the system remains constant.

Back

This is known as the law of conservation of energy.

Front

All power plants use fuel to supply energy that turns generators.

Back

This energy is converted into electrical energy.

Front

Radiant energy is the type of energy light has.

Back

It is a form of electromagnetic energy.

Front

A glass sitting on a table has potential energy.

Back

This is due to its position above the ground.

Front

When the string is released, work will be done on the arrow.

Back

This work is the result of the potential energy stored in the bow being converted into kinetic energy of the arrow.

Front

Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as roller coaster cars move down a hill.

Back

This transformation occurs due to the gravitational force acting on the cars as they descend.
