What is energy?
Energy is something that is moving.
Energy is something that builds up when something is at rest.
Energy describes the ability of things to change themselves or to cause change to other things.
All of the above accurately describe ENERGY.
Which option is the correct unit of measurement for energy?
Joule (J)
Kilogram (kg)
Newton (N)
Jewel (je)
TRUE or FALSE. Potential energy is stored energy. It is relative to its position and location.
True
False: Potential energy is energy in motion.
TRUE or FALSE. Kinetic energy is relative to its position and location, and it is a form of stored energy.
True
False: Kinetic energy is energy in motion.
Pick the correct formula to calculate for Potential Energy.
PE = 1/2mv2
PE = mgh
m = PE/gh
h = PE/mg
Pick the correct formula to solve for Kinetic Energy.
KE = 1/2mv2
KE = mgh
KE = d/t
v2 = 2KE/m
A book on a 2-meter high shelf has 20 joules of potential energy. What is the mass of the book?
4.08 kg
.1 J
392 J
.1 kg
Calculate the PE of a bird sitting on a tree limb. The mass of the bird is 0.1 kg and it is 5 meters off the ground.
4.9 J
4.9 m/s
5.4 J
None of the above answers are correct.
Which example best relates to chemical energy?
A lamp plugged into an electrical outlet.
Gasoline burning in a car's engine causing the car to move.
When you consume food, is that a form of chemical potential energy?
Yes, because the food chemically breaks down inside your body helping your body store energy to use when needed.
No, because your body digests the food you eat and does not store the energy for future consumption.
