Potential Energy
batteries and food are an example of this form of energy
chemical energy
Jane's dog Sport jumped over a ball is an example of this type of energy.
mechanical energy
These are the first 3 transformations that occurred when Ted struck a match and it caught fire, starting with the match.
chemical, mechanical, thermal
the sun warms the ground outside
radiation
fossil fuel that pollutes the least amount
natural gas
Don stepped on his pogo stick and the spring compressed
stored mechanical energy
plugging your phone to charge it is an example of this type of energy.
electrical energy
The first 2 transformations that will occur in a car battery when it is turned on.
chemical to electrical
this works well in solids
conduction
This is a natural resource that can be used and replaced over a relatively short period of time.
renewable resource
type of energy that's released from the splitting of uranium atoms
nuclear energy
a fire warming your hands is an example of this type of energy
thermal energy
The 3 transformations that occur in a flashlight starting with the battery
chemical, electrical, and light
water heats up when boiling water
convection
A disadvantage of this resource is that it needs large open spaces.
wind
A mirror that hangs on the wall is an example of this.
gravitational energy
cooking food in a microwave is an example of this type of energy.
light energy
The 3 transformations that occur when Julie chopped wood with an ax starting with it raised.
gravitational, mechanical, and sound
You burn your feet on the hot sand.
conduction
Plants, wood, algae, and waste are used for this resource.
biomass
These are the 4 types of potential energy.
chemical, stored mechanical, nuclear, and gravitational
This type of energy cannot travel through empty space.
sound energy
The three energy transformations that occur in an electric pencil sharpener, start with where it gets its energy from.
electrical, mechanical, sound
thermal energy always moves this way
warmer to cooler
a nonrenewable resource that does not come from fossil fuels
nuclear
Potential changes to kinetic?
sun shines on plants or gas makes car move
gas in a car makes it go
Which of the following are not an examples of potential energy? Baby Crying, hanging light fixture, sun shining, nuclear
Baby Crying AND sun shining
1st two transformations when Splitting Uranium
nuclear to thermal
Describe how heat is transferred to an ice cube that melts
The warmer air moves to the ice and melts it
Fossil fuel that pollutes the most
coal
