Forms of Energy
This type of energy is stored in food and batteries.
What is chemical energy?
Energy changes form in this process.
What is energy conversion?
This law says energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy from moving air.
What is wind energy?
Energy sources that can be replaced naturally.
What are renewable energy sources?
Energy of moving objects.
What is mechanical energy?
A lamp changes electrical energy into this.
What is light (radiant) energy?
Energy that is not useful in a transformation.
What is waste energy?
Energy from the Sun.
What is solar energy?
Energy sources that will run out one day.
What are non-renewable energy sources?
Energy carried by sound waves
What is sound energy?
A car engine converts chemical energy into this main energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Most waste energy becomes this.
What is thermal (heat) energy?
Energy from underground heat.
What is geothermal energy?
Example of renewable energy.

What is electrical energy?
The percentage of useful energy output compared to input.
What is efficiency?
Energy from burning fossil fuels like oil.
What is chemical energy (non-renewable)?
