Energy Review
Explain the difference between kinetic and potential energy Explain the difference between kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy of MOTION. Potential energy is stored energy in an object that is not moving.
Identify two things that can cause KE to increase Identify two things that can cause KE to increase. Increase in speed (velocity). Large mass
Identify two things that affect gravitational potential energy Identify two things that affect gravitational potential energy. Height Mass
KINETIC OR POTENTIAL ENRGY? REVIEW: KINETIC OR POTENTIAL ENRGY?
If both of these balls are traveling down a bowling lane at the SAME speed, which one would have more kinetic energy? Support your answer. Ball A because it has greater mass.
Which skier will have a greater potential energy. Support your answer Which skier will have a greater potential energy? Support your answer. Skier 1 because skier 1 has greater height.
At which two points on the pendulum, is the pendulum experiencing the greatest potential energy? A and D
Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy? A car not moving Water falling off a dam A rock resting on a ledge A person sitting in a chair
Which of the following increases when a metal spring is stretched horizontally? Potential energy Kinetic energy Gravitational potential energy Electrical energy
What happens to the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of a ball during free fall? GPE and KE both increase. GPE and KE both decrease. GPE decreases and KE increases. GPE increases and KE decreases.

Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources. Renewable resources are energy sources that can be replaced as quickly as it is used. Nonrenewable resources cannot be replaced by natural processes as quickly as they are used.
Identify some types of fossil fuels. Natural Gas Petroleum Coal
Renewable Nonrenewable Renewable Renewable Renewable Nonrenewable Identify the following energy sources as renewable or nonrenewable. Solar Natural Gas Geothermal energy Wind Hydroelectricity Fossil fuels Coal Biomass Petroleum Renewable Nonrenewable Renewable Renewable Renewable Nonrenewable Nonrenewable Renewable Nonrenewable
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy. Power plants could still produce electricity after coal and oil become scarce Do not produce air pollutants & CO2 Disadvantages: A meltdown can cause a nuclear explosion that releases radiation into the environment Water used to cool power plants are dumped into rivers and streams kill organisms
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy. Does not burn fossil fuels No pollution Low costs Disadvantages: No wind no energy
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. Does not burn fossil fuels Do not produce air pollutants & CO2 Disadvantages: Expensive
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of hydroelectricity. Does not burn fossil fuels Do not produce air pollutants & CO2 Disadvantages: Habitat destruction
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy Does not burn fossil fuels Do not produce air pollutants & CO2 Disadvantages: Not all areas are suitable for geothermal energy. High startup costs.
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of biomass. Does not burn fossil fuels Fuels produced by biomass are clean-burning. Available throughout the world. Disadvantages: Expensive to build biogas plant. Biogas plants require space possible habitat destruction.
