Kinetic Energy
The vibration and movement of molecules, also known as heat.
What is thermal energy?
Fuel and food is a type of potential energy. Give an example on how chemical energy is transferred into mechanical energy.
Example: it is transferred to mechanical energy when force or work is done.
Depends on an object's mass and position (height)
What is potential energy?
When a force is used to move an object through a distance.
What is work?
The movements if electrons. Examples: lightning and current in appliances.
What is electrical energy?
It is dependent on mass and height.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Depends on an objects motion and postition
What is mechanical energy?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Vibrational movement through waves.
What is sound?
This energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
What is nuclear potential energy?
Depends on objects mass and speed
What is kinetic energy?
Where an object is relative to the point of reference.
What is position?
Electromagnetic waves. Examples: Visible light, Xrays, Radio waves.
What is radiant or light waves.
What is elastic potential energy?
A battery not being used is what type of energy?
Chemical potential
How much matter there is in something.
What is mass?
A marble with more mass has (greater/less) kinetic energy than a marble that weighs less.
Greater
The object will have more of what type of energy the higher it is?
Gravitational potential energy
Boiling water is what type of energy?
Thermal (kinetic) energy
The standard unit for measuring the amount of energy something has.
What is joule?
