Forms of Energy 1
What is potential energy?
What is kinetic energy?
Energy that involves motion
This form of energy is potential energy an object has due to gravity
Gravitational potential energy
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: These two energy forms are involved in photosynthesis.
Light (electromagnetic) and chemical energy
True or false: you can create energy.
False
This form of energy is energy flowing through a circuit.
Electrical energy
This form of energy is the movement of vibrations through air and other matter.
Sound energy
This form of energy is stored inside the nucleus of an atom.
Nuclear energy
As a ball falls off a shelf, it loses _________ energy and gains ________ energy.
Gravitational potential energy , kinetic energy
Solar, Wind, and Hydro energy are examples of this source of energy.
Renewable sources of energy
This form of energy is found inside a battery and the food we eat.
Chemical energy
These (3) forms of energy are present in an electrical circuit with a light bulb.
Thermal, electrical, and light (electromagnetic)
These two forms of energy can come from a fire.
Thermal and light(electromagnetic)
A chicken eats grains (food), and converts it into ________ and _________ energy.
chemical, and kinetic (mechanical, thermal)
This source of energy cannot be reused or created in a short amount of time
Non-renewable resource
A skater will eventually come to a full stop because their kinetic energy converts into this type of energy.
Thermal energy (friction)
What forms of energy are present in a wind-up toy?
Elastic, mechanical, sound
With thermal energy, the faster the particles move, the ______ the temperature.
higher
When a rubber band is pulled back and then let go, _______ energy transfers to _________ energy.
potential/elastic, kinetic/ mechanical
As a pendulum swings from the bottom to the highest point, the energy is transferred from ______ to ______.
Kinetic, Potential
Chemical -> Thermal -> Mechanical -> Electrical
SAFE JEOPARDY (Don't lose points for wrong answer): Why can light waves (ex. sunlight) travel through space while sound waves cannot?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not.
What (3) forms of energy does the sun have?
Nuclear, thermal and light(electromagnetic)
What (3) forms of energy are involved with a dam?
Gravitational potential, mechanical, and electrical energy
What are the three factors needed for dead plants/animals to turn into fossil fuels?
heat, pressure, and time
