Types of energy 1
The capacity to do work
What is energy?
The movement of electrical charges
What is electrical energy?
Batteries and natural gas are an example of this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
This law states that energy can not be created or destroyed.
What is the law of Conservation of Energy?
A roller coaster at the top of a hill
What is potential?
The potential energy the gravity puts on objects
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy that is ready to go
What is potential energy?
A stretched rubber band is an example of this type of energy.
What is elastic potential energy?
When a flashlight is used, this is how the energy is transferred from one type to another.
Chemical to electrical to radiant and thermal.
A car hanging from a crane.
What is potential?
The energy that something has because of its motion
What is kinetic or motion energy?
Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves.
What is radiant energy?
The geysers at Yellowstone National park are an example of this type of energy.
What is thermal energy?
When a catapult is used, this is how the energy is transferred from one type to another.
What is elastic potential to kinetic(movement) to gravitational potential to kinetic(movement)?
A train speeding down the tracks
What is Kinetic?
The movement of energy through waves that are caused by an object vibrating
What is sound energy?
The stored energy in objects from the application of force
What is mechanical energy/elastic potential energy?
x-rays are an example of this type of energy.
What is radiant energy?
When a TV is used, this is how the energy is transferred from one type to another.
What is electrical to sound, radiant and thermal?
The food that we eat has this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
Heat energy from the movement of atoms
What is thermal energy?
The energy stored in the bonds of atoms
What is chemical energy?
This type of energy is only created in a star (like our sun) or in a power plant.
What is nuclear energy?
When a car is turned on and then driven, this is how the energy is transferred from one type to another.
What is kinetic (turning key), to chemical, to electrical, kinetic, radiant, sound and thermal?
Electricity is this type of energy
What is potential and kinetic?
