potential |
|
kinetic |
|
gravitational |
|
inherent |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
hot |
|
dense |
|
all of these |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
period |
|
family |
|
atomic number |
|
group |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
