Basic Concepts
The ability to do work or cause change is known as this.
Energy.
The energy form that results from the position of an object.
potential energy.
This type of wave moves up and down in the direction it travels, like a slinky.
Longitudinal Waves.
The type of energy stored in food that living organisms consume.
chemical energy.
The device that converts electrical energy to light energy, helping to illuminate rooms
A lightbulb
The kind of energy that is involved in the movement of objects.
Kinetic energy
The energy transformation when a cyclist pedals up a hill.
kinetic energy to potential energy.
This type of wave moves perpendicular to the direction it travels.
Transverse waves.
The primary source of energy for most ecosystems.
The Sun.
This device converts electrical energy to kinetic energy to move air.
This type of energy is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Chemical Energy.
The energy changes when a ball is thrown into the air and then falls back down.
potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy.
This type of wave travels through the vacuum of space and can be seen with the human eye.
Electromagnetic wave.
Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through this process.
Photosynthesis.
The appliance that transforms electrical energy into sound energy to play music.
A speaker.
This type of energy is associated with the height and mass of an object above the ground.
Gravitational potential energy.
The type of energy change that occurs when a roller coaster cart moves from the top of a hill to the bottom
potential energy to kinetic energy?.
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through and includes sound waves.
mechanical wave.
The type of energy transformation that occurs when a person runs after eating a meal.
chemical energy to kinetic energy.
The device that converts electrical energy into sound to alert people to take action in emergencies.
Smoke detector.
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
The energy transformation occurring when a pendulum swings from its highest point to its lowest point.
potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy.
A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through a medium or space is called this.
The type of energy transformation that occurs in the digestive system when food is broken down and used for body functions.
chemical energy to mechanical and thermal energy.
The household device that converts sunlight into electrical energy for use in power needs.
Solar panel.
