What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy? (GPE) GPE=wh or g(m)h What is energy efficiency? Energy efficiency is the ratio of input energy to useful output energy. What is the difference between energy conversion and energy transfer? Energy conversion is the changing from one form to another. Energy transfer is the moving from one object to another. What is fusion? The combining of atomic nuclei What is fission? The splitting of an atomic nucleus What type of energy relates to fission and fusion and how the identity of the atom changes? NUCLEAR

2. PURPLE
What is the formula for Kinetic Energy? (KE) KE=1/2mv2 What is the by product of all energy conversions? Thermal Energy What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred or transformed. Why can you not have perpetual motion? Some energy is always transferred to thermal through friction What is the definition of friction? A force that opposes motion when objects are in contact. What is the definition of energy? The ability to do work

Rank the following in order from greatest amount of kinetic energy to the least. Assume the motorcycle is double the mass of the tricycle. a. A tricycle traveling 2 m/s 4 b. A tricycle traveling 4 m/s 2 c. A motorcycle traveling 4 m/s 1 d. A motorcycle traveling 2m/s 3 What is kinetic energy? Energy of motion What is gravitational potential energy? Energy that overcomes the force of gravity What is mechanical energy? The energy based on the position and motion of an object. What is the formula for mechanical energy? KE + PE Two skiers are at the top of a hill with 500J of GPE. Paul generated 50J of thermal energy through friction and Ashley generated 100J. Which skier was more energy efficient? Why? Paul because he transferred more useful energy.
