Across
- 2. The unit for energy in the metric system.
- 4. The formula for kinetic energy requires you to know the object's speed and _____________.
- 7. What would happen to the gravitational potential energy if you moved to a planet with stronger gravity and lifted something up compared to the same lift on Earth?
- 8. The type of potential energy that is stored when parts of atoms and molecules are pulled apart that want to be together.
- 12. What you call it when energy changes form (like a robot turning into a car!).
- 14. The cartoonist whose drawings of crazy contraptions shows machines doing very easy things in very elaborate ways.
- 15. The term for that relates how much of the energy you put into a machine actually goes where you want it to go.
- 16. The type of potential energy where something is lifted up off the ground.
Down
- 1. What happens to the amount of potential energy if you allow two objects that want to be together to get closer.
- 3. The generic term for energy of motion.
- 5. Eventually most living things on the planet get their energy from this source.
- 6. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but some will always go where you do not want it to go because of......
- 9. What you need to do work.
- 10. A type of kinetic energy that is most familiar to you by electrons moving through thin wires of metal.
- 11. What you call it when energy changes from one object to another but stays the same form.
- 13. The generic term for energy that is stored by the position of an object.
