Explain the difference between kinetic energy & potential energy.
Drag the examples to the box that matches the type of energy they possess.
Stretched elastic string of a bow
Dog running
Wheels on car turning
Water behind a dam
Hammer hitting a nail
A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff
Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
First law of thermodynamics: energy can be
Second law of thermodynamics: every energy conversion
Chemical reactions only release energy.
Explain the difference between exergonic & endergonic reactions.
The reactants in an endergonic reaction have more potential energy then the products.
Provide an example of an exergonic reaction.
Provide an example of an endergonic reaction.
