Potential and Kinetic Energy Types
This type of potential energy depends on the height of an object.
What is gravitational energy?
This renewable energy collects light from the Sun.
What is solar energy?
The transfer of heat through two objects that have direct contact.
What is conduction?
Process for when a liquid turns into a solid.
What is freezing?
The fourth planet from the Sun.
What is Mars?
This type of kinetic energy represents the motion of light (electromagnetic waves).
What is radiant energy?
This nonrenewable energy resource must be drilled from the ground.
What is oil?
The transfer of heat through liquids and gases.
What is convection?
Four states of matter.
What are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast?
This type of potential energy is stored in food, wood, plants, and batteries.
What is chemical energy?
This nonrenewable energy resource creates radioactive waste when used.
What is nuclear?
Type of heat transfer that causes the ground to heat up on a sunny day.
What is radiation?
Process for when a gas goes to a liquid.
What is condensation?
The element with an atom that has 1 proton, 2 electrons, and 3 neutrons.
What is hydrogen?
This type of kinetic energy is due to the flow of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
This renewable energy resource relies on the movement of flowing water.
What is hydroelectric power?
The transfer of heat through light (electromagnetic waves).
What is radiation?
Process for when a liquid goes to a gas.
What is evaporation?
The location of metals on the periodic table (omitting hydrogen).
To the left of the metalloids (zigzag line).
This type of potential energy is due to the compression or expansion of an object.
What is elastic energy?
What is biomass?
Type of heat transfer that causes a tornado.
What is convection?
Process for when a gas goes to a solid (skips the liquid phase!)
What is deposition?
The unit that energy is measured in.
What is a joule?
