Energy Review

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.

Increase in speed (velocity).

Large mass

Identify two things that affect gravitational potential energy.

Height

Mass

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy.

Advantages:• 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.

Advantages:• Does not burn fossil fuels• No pollution• Low costs

Disadvantages:• No wind no energy

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

Advantages:• Does not burn fossil fuels

• Do not produce air pollutants & CO2

Disadvantages:• Expensive

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of hydroelectricity.

Advantages:• Does not burn fossil fuels

• Do not produce air pollutants & CO2

Disadvantages:• Habitat destruction

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy

Advantages:• 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.

Advantages:• 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.
