Types of Energy
Energy released when atoms split or
are joined together.
Nuclear Energy
When atoms join together, we refer to this specifically as what?
Fusion (nuclear energy)
what is the formula to calculate work?
the sum of the Potential Energy and the Kinetic Energy.
Total Mechanical Energy
Energy made from the flow of current
through a conductor.
Electric Energy
Energy due to its high position as opposed to its low position.
Gravitational Potential Energy
energy that is stored. The amount of this energy depends on the object's position.
Picture a sled at the top of a hill. The sled gains ____(1)____ and loses ____(2)____ as it moves down the hill. (fill in the 2 blanks)
1. Kinetic
2. Potential
Energy stored when an object is stretched
or compressed.
Energy carried by light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Radiant Energy
is energy of motion.
Increase the amount of energy present by adding _______ to the sled.
Mass
Energy transferred when atoms get excited,
give off heat, and change temperature.
Thermal or Heat Energy
a push or pull
force
Energy CANNOT be created or destroyed. (True or False)
True
Increase the Gravitational Potential Energy
When atoms split, we refer to this specifically as what?
Fission (nuclear energy)
a change in position
motion
Energy can ONLY change form (True or False)
True
