Forms of Energy
Energy from movement of electrons- often through wires
What is Electric Energy?
Energy that is stored due to position or chemical composition.
What is Potential Energy?
This is the energy transformation when you put gas into a car and then drive it.
What is chemical to mechanical (and thermal)?
This is the transfer of thermal energy.
What is Heat?
According to this Law, this is what energy CANNOT be.
What is created or destroyed?
Energy from the vibration of particles through a substance
What is Sound Energy?
Energy that is in motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
This is the energy transformation when an iron is plugged in and turned on.
What is electric to thermal energy?
This is how heat moves.
What is HOT to COLD?
According the this Law, this is what energy CAN be.
What is transformed?
Energy an object has because of the movement of it molecules.
What is Thermal Energy?
The form of energy that a roller coaster has at the top of a hill
What is Potential Energy?
This is the energy transformation when a bike coasts down a hill.
What is potential to kinetic?
The heat transfer in our atmosphere, when the hot air rises and the cooler air sinks.
What is convection?
This is the total amount of mechanical energy a coaster has if it has 100 Joules of potential energy and 50J of Kinetic energy.
What is 150 Joules?
Energy that can travel as a wave through empty space?
What is Electromagnetic (or Radiant) Energy?
The form of energy a pendulum has the most of at the bottom of its swing.
What is Kinetic Energy?
This is the energy transformation in a flashlight (3).
What is chemical to electrical to electromagnetic energy?
The heat transfer in our atmosphere when thermal energy from the sun travels all the way to the sidewalk and makes it hot.
What is radiation?
If a lamp puts out a total of 1000 Joules of light (EM) and thermal energy, how much electrical energy went into it?
What is 1000 Joules?
What is Chemical Energy?
The total amount of kinetic and potential energy present in a system.
What is Mechanical Energy?
This is the energy transformation that occurs during photosynthesis.
What is electromagnetic to chemical?
This is how heat moves when you put room temperature sodas into a cooler of ice.
What is from the soda to the ice?
A car that gets 1500 Joules of chemical energy from gas converts 1000 Joules into mechanical energy and this much into thermal energy.
What is 500 Joules?
