The ability to do work and cause a change on something.
What is energy?
What energy transformations exist during photosynthesis?
This is an example of radiant (light) energy being changed to chemical energy.
Energy from moving electrons through a wire.
What is electrical energy?
Energy an object has due to its vibrations
What is sonic energy or sound energy?
What energy transformations exist when using a solar panel?
This is an example of radiant (light) energy being changed to electrical energy.
Burning wood (chemical energy) produces what kind of energies?
What are thermal energy and radiant (light) energy
How do stars get their energy?
Nuclear energy from nuclear fusion.
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
What energy transformations occur when turning on a lamp?
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant (light) energy.
What are the energies involved in a battery powered IPod?
Chemical -> Electrical -> Sonic
Energy stored in an object due to its height. The higher and heavier the object, the more energy is stored. Examples of this form of energy may be water stored at a reservoir behind dam. Or a rock resting on top of a hill.
What are potential energy and gravitational energy.
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected (or bonded) to each other.
What is chemical energy?
What energy transformations occur when lighting a matchstick?
This is an example of kinetic energy being changed to thermal energy.
Ultraviolet rays, x-rays, infrared rays, microwaves, and radio waves are all examples of what form of energy?
What is electromagnetic energy?
Energy is neither created or destroyed. Instead, it changes from one form of energy into another form of energy. (Energy Transformation). What is this theory called?
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
What energy levels exist when a child eats breakfast and then goes running?
Chemical energy transforming into kinetic energy
When an atom is split to create energy. What type of energy is this?
What is nuclear energy?
What is the main kind of energy stored in the food we eat?
What is Chemical energy?
