Work, Power and Energy Review Each table will work as a team to earn points by answering questions. There will be 25 seconds to answer each question. Answers, with formula when needed will be recorded on the whiteboards at each team table. Each team can use 2 calculators. Person writing rotates after each question. Correct answers will earn the points denoted by the question. Incorrect answers will not be penalized. The choice of category and question will rotate among teams. At Final Jeopardy, each time may wager all of their earned points, or $1000, whichever is greater. The winning team will earn 1 point of extra credit each on tomorrow s test or Jolly Rancher.
Strategy Work together with your team. Talk quietly but discuss possible options. Make sure to write down your solution before time runs out. After each question and answer we will have time to discuss and answer questions.

$100 Answer from Conservation of Energy A. Its kinetic energy is mostly converted to potential energy.
$200 Question from Conservation of Energy If energy can be neither created nor destroyed, what do we mean when we say Don t waste energy!
$200 Answer from Conservation of Energy Use less or Don t convert energy into less useful forms, like heat.
$300 Question from Conservation of Energy When a car rolls down a hill, most of its potential energy converts to kinetic energy. Where does most of the rest of it go?
$300 Answer from Conservation Heat (from friction) of Energy
$400 Question from Conservation of Energy An object starting with 20 J of potential energy rolls down a hill. At the bottom, 7/8 of the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. How much energy (in Joules) was lost due to friction?
