Energy of an astronaut
Astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS) need balanced meals to meet their energy and health needs while in space. Food scientists and nutritionists at NASA ensure that astronauts eat balanced meals in space by consulting the Nutrition Fact labels and studying the nutritional needs of astronauts...
Energy of moving objects and of springs
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Distinguish between the energy in the kinetic store of an object and the object’s speed.
- Describe how mass and speed affect the amount of energy in the kinetic store of the object...
