Kinetic/Potential Energy
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
Photosynthesis changes these types of energy.
What is radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter (waves). These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
The unit used to measure energy
What is a Joule (J)?
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
A solar powered calculator changes these 2 types of energy.
What is radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
This type of radiant energy is used to heat up your food.
What is a microwave?
This type of thermal energy transformation can occur in a solid, liquid, or gas state.
What is conduction?
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
A lamp changes these 2 types of energy.
What is electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.?
This type of radiant energy produces sound.
What is are sound waves?
This type of thermal energy transformation occurs only by direct contact.
What is conduction?
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
Energy that is stored, or energy of fuel.
What is chemical energy?
Solar panels change these types of energy.
What is radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.?
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
What are ultraviolet rays?
This type of thermal energy transformation only occurs in fluids (liquids and gas).
What is convection?
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy of heat.
What is thermal energy?
An coal power plant converts energy into these 4 steps.
What is chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy?
This type of radiant energy comes from the sun.
What are solar rays?
This thermal energy transformation occurs when you are sitting next to a fire.
What is radiation?
