24-25 Unit #4 Energy (4)

Front

What type of wave is characterized by particles vibrating perpendicularly to the direction of wave travel?

Back

Transverse wave.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as thermal energy increases?

Back

Kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the process called when thermal energy moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature?

Back

Heat transfer.

Front

As a roller coaster goes downhill, what type of energy conversion occurs?

Back

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What type of wave is represented by ocean waves?

Back

Transverse wave.

Front

In a transverse wave, how do the particles move in relation to the wave direction?

Back

Particles move up and down perpendicular to the wave direction.

Front

What is the relationship between thermal energy and kinetic energy?

Back

As thermal energy increases, kinetic energy also increases.

Front

What is the definition of potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases.
