All of the resources that we looked at yesterday can be described as a specific type of potential (PE) or kinetic energy (KE).

1. What are the 4 forms of PE that we discussed in class? How would you define each?
2. What are the 5 forms of KE that we discussed in class? How would you define each?
3. Be able to identify which form of energy each of the available resources is.
4. The First Law of Thermodynamics governs the movement (flow) of energy. W
1. What are the 3 parts of the 1st Law?
2. Why is the 1st Law important in the discussion of efficiency?
5. What are the energy transformations for an internal combustion engine?

Here is the article that we talked about in class today. It is a very interesting discussion on the ability to be sustainable and the issues with the functionality of sustainability.
