Misc. 1
Ability to work
Energy
associated with the motion and position of everyday objects.
Mechanical energy
The process of changin energy from one form to another is
energy conversion.
= 1/2 m v2
Kinetic energy
Energy sources that can be replaced in a relatively short period of time.
Renewable Energy Resources
This is the transfer of energy
Work
The total potential and kinetic energy of all the microscopic particle in and object makes this up.
Thermal Energy
Law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed
Law of Conservation
= KE + PE
Mechanical Energy
Energy obtained from flowing water
Hydroelectric energy
The energy of motion
Kinetic Energy
Energy Stored in chemical bonds
Chemical energy
generates electricity by reacting hydrogen with oxygen
hydrogen fuel cell
(KE + PE) beginning =(KE + PE) ending
Conservation of mechanical Energy
Sunlight that is converted into usable energy
solar energy
Energy that is stored as a result of position or shape
Potential Energy
energy associated with electrical charges
Electrical energy
Finding ways to use less energy or to use energy more efficiently
energy conservation
= mgh
Potential Energy
Thermal energy beneath the earth's surface
Geothermal Energy
The energy stored within an atomic nuclei
Nuclear Energy
form of energy that travels through space in the form of waves.
Electromagnetic energy
Oil, natural gas and coal are known as
Fossil fuels
states that energy and mass are equivalent and can be converted into each other.
E = mc2
Chemical energy stored in living things
biomass energy
