Unit 4: Energy RETEACH (6TH)

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A tennis ball rolling across the court.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to do work.

Front

What type of potential energy is stored in chemical bonds?

Back

Chemical energy.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave that moves parallel to the direction of energy transfer.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a type of wave that moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

Front

Which wave has the least energy?

Back

Wave 1.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, like springs.

Front

How does energy transfer in waves?

Back

Energy is transferred through the vibration of particles in the medium.
