Question

read the passage that is missing some key terms. find the term for each blank in the table below. potential & kinetic energy have you ever paused on a diving board before jumping into the water? in that moment you stood still, you had potential energy. in physics, energy is defined as the ability for doing ____________. there are many different forms of energy, but they all can be classified as either potential energy or ________________. energy is an essential __________ of human existence. various forms of energy can be seen all around us and even __________ us. you need to light a fire, __________, raise your hand, and eat pizza. energy is the __________ behind every movement in the universe, from the __________ molecule to the most massive planet. all __________ contains energy, and energy can change to different forms but can never be created or ________________. this is the law of ________________ of energy. there are many different ____________ of energy, but they can all be classified as either kinetic energy or potential energy. after you find the terms that fill in the blanks in the table, cross out its clue. these clues are not useful. any leftover terms reveal clues about who the masked scientist could be. clue bank forms i was born in hawaii. within i was born in the 1900’s. potential energy i was not born in the usa. work i studied in greece. acceleration i did not have a well known symphony. kinetic energy i was not a great painter. destroyed i lived during ancient history. ride a bike i became famous after i died. conservation i was born in the 2000’s. component i was not a scientist. matter i did not write comic books. nucleus i have never been to outer space. tiniest i lived for 46 years. force i didn’t work with chimpanzees.

Explanation:

In physics, energy is defined as the ability to do work. The two main types of energy are potential and kinetic energy. Energy is a component of human - existence, present within us and used in daily activities like riding a bike. It is the force behind all movements in the universe, from the tiniest molecule to planets. Matter contains energy, and according to the law of conservation of energy, energy can change forms but not be created or destroyed. There are many forms of energy, all classified as potential or kinetic.

Answer:

1. work
2. kinetic energy
3. component
4. within
5. ride a bike
6. force
7. tiniest
8. matter
9. destroyed
10. conservation
11. forms
