Forms of Energy
This is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Electrical energy is transformed into light energy in this common device.
What is a light bulb?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another.
What is heat?
Energy that comes from sources like the sun, wind, and water.
What is renewable energy?
This type of energy is stored due to an object’s position or height.
What is potential energy?
Plants use this process to turn sunlight into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
When energy changes from one form to another, it's called this.
What is energy transformation?
Heat moves from a warmer object to a cooler one in this process.
What is conduction?
Resources like coal and oil are called this type of energy.
What is nonrenewable energy?
This energy is stored in chemical bonds and released in chemical reactions.
What is chemical energy?
A car engine transforms this type of energy into mechanical energy.
What is chemical energy?
Even if a pendulum slows down, this law is still in effect.
What is energy is conserved (transformed into other forms like heat)?
Heat transfer through boiling water occurs via this method.
What is convection?
This clean energy source comes from heat inside the Earth.
What is geothermal energy?
This is the type of energy used by devices like microwaves.
What is electromagnetic energy?
As a ball rolls down a hill, this form of energy increases.
What is kinetic energy?
This transformation occurs when a roller coaster descends.
What is potential energy to kinetic energy?
An oven heats the air using this type of heat transfer.
What is convection?
Coal and oil are examples of this type of resource.
What are nonrenewable resources?
This energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
A flashlight converts energy in this sequence.
What is chemical to electrical to light energy?
Friction causing energy loss as heat is explained by this law.
What is energy is conserved but changes form (thermal energy due to friction)?
The Sun warms the Earth through this type of energy transfer.
What is radiation?
This is why solar energy is more sustainable than coal.
What is solar energy is renewable and doesn’t pollute?
