Kinetic/Potential Energy
The ability to do work.
energy?
Energy carried by electricity.
electrical
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
photosynthesis
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
radiant
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
sound
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
work?
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
mechanical
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
solar powered calculator?
The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.
wavelength?
Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.
vibrations?
The energy any object has because of its motion.
kinetic energy?
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
nuclear energy?
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
lamp?
This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.
prism?
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
frequency?
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
potential energy?
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
chemical energy?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
solar panels?
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
ultraviolet rays?
Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
elephants?
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
kinetic energy?
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
thermal energy?
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
power plant?
This type of radiant energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.
gamma rays?
These sound waves can be used to create images of a patient's body without the harmful effects of x-rays.
ultrasound waves?
