Energy Transformations Review Game

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field, often related to its height above the ground.

Front

What pulls Gravitational Potential Energy towards the Earth?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal Energy is the transfer of energy from a warm object to a cooler one, commonly known as heat energy.

Front

What type of energy is caused by the flow of electric charges?

Back

Electrical Energy.

Front

What type of potential energy does a skater have when at the top of a ramp?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy.

Front

What is Chemical Potential Energy?

Back

Chemical Potential Energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of substances, such as food and batteries.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

Can energy change forms? Give an example.

Back

Yes, energy can change forms. For example, when a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and thermal energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a roller coaster?

Back

As a roller coaster climbs, it gains gravitational potential energy. As it descends, that energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
