Basic Energy
The ability to do work.
What is Energy?
This material is the best conductor of electricity
What is metal?
The total kinetic energy due to the motions of the atoms in a substance.
What is thermal energy?
A type of energy that travels as an electromagnetic wave.
What is light?
When objects push and pull on each other.
What is mechanical energy?
The measure of hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
What is temperature?
This is the energy needed by an electrical source when connected in a complete circuit to an electrical device.
What is electrical energy?
What are atoms or particles?
This is the primary source of energy for Earth, powering photosynthesis and the water cycle.
What is the sun?
This is what transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What is an electric engine?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Plastic or rubber coating covering wires in an electrical circuit.
What is insulation?
The heat transfer method that uses circulation or movement of liquids or gases.
What is convection?
These are used to transmit energy through matter or empty space.
What is electromagnetic waves?
This is an example of chemical energy transforming into mechanical energy.
What is human movement?
This is a liquid or gas and has the ability to flow.
What is a fluid?
The movement of charged particles through a wire or other medium.
What is current or electricity?
The heat transfer method that requires no direct contact.
What is radiation?
This occurs when light bounces off of an object.
What is reflection?
Mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic energy and this.
What is potential energy?
This states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only transform.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This form of electricity results from an imbalance or separation of positive and negative charges on an object.
What is static electricity?
The point at which two objects that are touching reach the same temperature.
What is thermal equilibrium?
This has the longest wavelength and the least amount of energy of all the visible colors.
What is red?
He was an engineer, cartoonist, inventor, best known for designing complex gadgets performing simple tasks.
Who is Rube Goldberg?
