S8P2 Milestone Review

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is the energy produced by the internal motion of particles called?

Back

Thermal energy.

Front

At which point does a ball have maximum kinetic energy in a given diagram?

Back

The point where the ball is moving the fastest, typically at the lowest point in its path.

Front

Mechanical Energy can be transferred to which type of energy?

Back

Electrical energy.

Front

Which position has the greatest gravitational potential energy?

Back

The position that is highest above the ground.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.

Front

How is thermal energy related to temperature?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, which is related to its temperature.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the difference between mechanical energy and thermal energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy, while thermal energy is related to the internal motion of particles.
