Stored Energy
This type of energy is usually called stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This type of energy is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This form of energy is seen when a book is on the edge of a table.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Photosynthesis involves energy transformation between these two forms of energy.
What are radiant and chemical?
The sum of the potential and kinetic energy of a system.
What is mechanical energy?
These two quantities impact the amount of stored energy an object has, when the object could be dropped or roll downwards (for example).
What are the object's weight and height from the ground?
These two quantities impact the amount of moving energy an object has.
What are the object's mass and velocity?
These two forms of energy are seen at a fire.
What are thermal and radiant energies?
Electrical energy transforms into these three other types when you turn on a TV.
What are thermal, radiant, and sound energies?
This law states that energy can neither be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Examples of this form of energy include a battery and the food we eat.
What is chemical energy?
This form of energy can be measured with a thermometer.
What is thermal energy?
The sun demonstrates these three forms of energy.
What are nuclear, thermal, and radiant energies?
These are the four energy transfers that occur when you turn on a battery-powered flashlight.
What is chemical to electrical to radiant to thermal?
Energy forms seen when a person is jumping on a trampoline.
What are elastic potential energy, mechanical energy, and gravitational potential energy?
This form of energy could be seen with a stretched rubber band.
What is elastic energy?
This form of energy is seen in circuits.
What is electrical energy?
A person riding a bike represents these three types of energy.
What are chemical, mechanical, and thermal energies?
When you turn on a hair dryer, electrical energy changes to these three energy types.
What are mechanical, thermal, and sound?
This source of energy is responsible for creating wind.
What is the sun?
At this position, a roller coaster has the greatest amount of stored energy.
What is "at the top of the hills"?
At this position, a pendulum has the greatest amount of moving energy.
What is "at the bottom of its swing"?
A cell phone demonstrates these five forms of energy.
What are chemical, electrical, radiant, sound and thermal energies?
When you light fireworks, you are seeing the transformation of this type of energy into these three types of energy.
What is the transformation of chemical energy to radiant, sound, and thermal energies?
These types of energy do work through waves.
What are sound and radiant energies?
