Magical Energy

Cavalier Heat

Hermione has realized that in order for her, Ron

and Harry to better use their magic, they must be
aware of the energy that is being used for each
spell. She decided to start with the basics and give
them a Muggle lesson on the difference between
Kinetic and Potential Energy.
Help Hermione by writing a K (kinetic energy) or P
(potential energy) on the line in front of each
description, depending on how the description can
be classified.
. 1. A moving roller coaster at the bottom of
a hill.
. 2. A roller coaster car at the top of a hill.
. 3. A tightly wound spring being held in
place.
. 4. The food you eat.
. 5. A new package of batteries.
. 6. A bicycle coasting on a level sidewalk.
. 7. A marble rolling along at the bottom of a
ramp.
. 8. Flying on a broomstick during Quidditch.
. 9. Moving your wand to cast a Patronus
spell.
During a Quidditch match, Harry and Draco both
find the Golden Snitch which
they need to catch to win the
game. Draco dives down 10
meters. Harry dives down 25
meters. Which player will have
the greater kinetic energy at
the bottom of his dive? Use your
notes to help you explain.

Iron Mans Energy Calculations

Tony Stark is designing a new Iron Man suit for his impending battle against Captain America.
He wants a suit that will be able to withstand the impact of multiple opponents attacking at
once like what happened the last time he faced off with Captain America and The Winter
Solider. He needs to do some calculations to help him determine the different forms of energy.
Help Tony Stark by working out the mathematical equations and then match the letters with
the corresponding answers below the blanks.

Heat Transfer
Answer the review questions about Heat Transfer after reading the following short article.

Gases are made up of small particles, called molecules, that are constantly moving. The faster the
molecules are moving, the more energy they have. The total energy of motion in the molecules of a
substance is called thermal energy. Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion in the
molecules of a substance. It is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is. Temperature is one of the most
important elements of weather.
Air temperature is usually measured with a thermometer. A thermometer is a thin glass tube with a bulb
on one end that contains a liquid, usually mercury or colored alcohol. Thermometers work because liquids
expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. When the air temperature increases, the
liquid in the bulb expand and rises up the column. When the air temperature decreases, the liquid contracts
and falls back down the column.
Temperature is measured in units called degrees. ON the Celsius scale, the freezing point of pure water is
0C and the boiling point of pure water is 100C. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32F
and t6he boiling point is 212F.
Heat refers to the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one. Heat is transferred in three
ways: radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the direct transfer of energy. The direct transfer
of heat from one substance to another substance that is tou8ching is called conduction. The closer together
the molecules in a substance are, the more effectively they can conduct heat. Conduction works well in some
solids, but not as well in fluids (liquids and gases). In fluids, molecules can move from place to place and
take their heat with them. The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid as called convection.
When Earths surface absorbs solar energy during the day, the surface becomes warmer than the air.
Radiation and conduction of heat from the surface to the air warm the air near the ground. When the air near
the ground is heated, the molecules have more energy and move faster. The molecules bump into each other
and move farther apart, or become less dense. Cooler, denser air sinks, forcing the warmer, less dense air to
rise. The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form convection currents
that cause most of the heating of the troposphere.
Understanding Main Ideas:
1. How is air temperature usually measured?
.
2. At what temperature on the Celsius scale does pure water freeze? At what temperature
does it boil?
.

3. Name the three ways that heat is transferred.

5. What causes most of the4 heating of the troposphere?
