Energy
What is the ability to do work?
Energy
What is energy carried by moving electrons (moving electrical charges).
Electrical Energy
Energy transformation in a microwave.
Electrical-radiant-thermal-sound
Energy an object has due to its motion.
Kinetic Energy
How many forms of energy are there?
Seven
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or both.
Mechanical energy
Energy transformation when someone rides a bike.
Chemical-mechanical-thermal- (maybe sound)
Energy an object has due to its position.
Potential energy
What is the unit of measure for energy?
Joules (J)
Energy produced when atoms either split apart or fuse together during a nuclear reaction.
Nuclear Energy
Energy transformation that occurs in a lamp.
Electrical-radiant-thermal- (maybe sound)
What are the variables that effect the amount of kinetic energy an object has?
An object's mass and an object's velocity (speed)
List the seven forms of energy.
Mechanical, Radiant, Sound, Chemical, Heat (thermal), Electrical, Nuclear
Energy stored within chemical bonds that hold atoms together.
Chemical Energy
Energy transformation in an electric blanket.
Electrical-thermal
What are the variables that effect how much potential energy an object has?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy is neither created, nor destroyed. Energy only changes form from one type to another.
Energy produced due to the movement of atoms.
Thermal Energy
Energy transformation that occurs when you burn coal.
Chemical-thermal-radiant
How are kinetic energy and potential energy related?
They have an inverse relationship. (opposites) As one type of energy increases, the other type decreases.
