Energy Basics
Energy that is stored
potential
Energy stored in bonds between atoms and molecules?
Example: batteries
What is chemical energy?
Someone is at the top of a hill with a skateboard. What type of energy do they have lots of?
Potential
What type of kinetic energy is associated with the vibration of particles in a material or medium?
What is sound energy?
Give an example of an object, in this classroom, with high potential energy.
Tv stand, Things at the edge of Mrs. Coulson's Desk, Light covers, Whiteboard markers, something on top of the table that could fall...
Energy that is being used or in motion
Energy associated with the temperature of an object?
What is thermal energy?
What are the types of energy that make a flashlight work?
Chemical energy from the batteries is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light energy.
What type of kinetic energy is produced by the movement of charged particles, such as electrons?
What is electric energy?
What type of potential energy is found particles and structure of an atom's nucleus?
What is nuclear energy?
Energy is the ability to do work, true or false?
True
Energy produced by the flow of charges through an outlet or wire.
What is electrical energy?

Kinetic
-Motion/mechanical
-Gravitational
What type of kinetic energy is associated with the random motion of tiny particles in matter, resulting in temperature?
What is thermal energy?
What type of potential energy is associated with the position of objects above the Earth's surface?
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy is transferred from one source to another. True or False
True
Type of energy that can be heard.
Sound
What happens to the potential energy of a ball as it falls from a height, and what type of energy does it gain?
The potential energy decreases as it falls, and it gains kinetic energy.
