Energy Change
When an object falls a certain type of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. What is the name of this type of potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy.
The use of renewable energy sources helps reduce this type of gas, a major contributor to climate change.
Greenhouse gasses
The greenhouse gas most commonly produced by burning fossil fuels.
Carbon Dioxide
The act of burning fuels such as gasoline converts one specific type of energy into light and thermal energy. In a car engine, this thermal energy is then converted into mechanical energy to move the vehicle. What is the name of the type of energy that was mentioned first.
Chemical energy
The type of energy associated with the movement of an object.
Kinetic energy
Mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy with machines. Give an example of this energy change.
Spinning turbines in power plants
Solar panels convert sunlight into this type of energy to power different systems.
electrical energy
The primary advantage of solar panels over fossil fuels.
Solar energy is clean and renewable
Plants convert energy produced by the sun into another type of energy to store it in glucose molecules, all of this happens through the process of photosynthesis. What is the name of the energy released by the sun and the energy it is transformed into?
Potential
The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
Power
In a pendulum, kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing is converted to another type of energy as it rises to the highest point. What is the name of this other type of energy?
Potential energy
Fiber optic cables use this type of energy to transmit data over long distances with minimal loss.
Light energy
The impact on public health due to reduced air pollution from clean energy sources.
reducing premature deaths, heart attacks, asthma, and hospitalization

The Joule
Many methods have been made to store chemical energy and then transform it into other forms of energy. Give an example of one of these other forms of energy that it can be transformed into.
electrical energy
The kind of energy kinetic energy is turned into to power wind turbines.
