Multiple Choice

Question image

Two students decide to do some experiments with three plants. What will happen to plant 2 (gets light, no water)?

  • Kinetic Energy = energy of motion

  • Potential Energy = stored energy based on location or state


    Kinetic and Potential Energy can change back and forth between each other.

    The higher something is, the larger the potential energy.

    The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

  • Energy and speed are directly related

  • The faster an object moves, the less time it
    takes to travel


    The more energy an object has, the faster
    that object travels.

    Examples:

    • Gently rolling a bowling ball results in a slow speed.

    • Throwing the ball as hard as possible would result in a very fast speed.

​

  • The longer an object has been

    exposed to weathering the more

    change will happen.

  • Softer rock will wear away first,

    leaving harder rock behind.

Erosion, Weathering, Deposition

  • ​​Weathering - breaking down of rock

  • Erosion - movement of rock/sediment

Renewable and Nonrewable Energy

  • ​Renewable Energy can be replenished as fast as what we can use it. These are not harmful to the environment.
    Ex: Solar, Hydroelectric, Wind, Geothermal

  • Nonrenewable Energy takes longer than our lifetime to replenish the energy used. Typically takes thousands to millions of years
    Ex: Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear.

Light and Color Absorption

  • Color absorption is the way an object takes in certain colors of light and reflects or absorbs others.

  • Different objects and substances absorb and reflect light in various ways.



Example:
The water to the left absorbs the green and blue lasers, but allows the red laser to pass through because of its red color.

When I would hold a marker up to my lights, sometimes the marker would appear black/grey because of the light that was being absorbed.
