Energy and Matter SJam

What is the possible or stored energy in an object called?

• thermal energy
• kinetic energy
• chemical energy
• potential energy

How does potential energy become kinetic energy?

• When something hot touches something cool, the potential energy in the hot object is turned into kinetci energy in the cool object
• when an outside force acts upon an object with potential energy, that force turns the potential energy into kinetic energy
• potential energy becomes kinetic when an object remains in place and continues to build up more and more energy
• potential energy has no relation to kinetic energy

What is chemical energy?

• the potential energy in chemical compounds that is waiting to be released
• energy that is formed or caused by movement
• the movement of electrons throughout the world
• energy from the sun or any other light source

WHich of the following is an example of kinetic energy?

• a vase sitting on a table
• sound
• a plate of hot food
• a parked car

How is all energy connected?

• energy is connected through the light waves
• energy is connected through chemical bonds
• energy is connected as it constantly moves from one place to another
• energy is not connected

What is thermal energy?

• energy from sound
• potential energy in chemical compounds
• the movement of electrons
• heat

Which of the following is an example of radiant energy?

• the sun
• a car
• a plate of spaghetti
• knocking over a glass of water
