100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100
This is an example of the suns energy being changed to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis or leaves turning green?
100
When two atoms are forced together.
What is fusion?
100
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.
What is sound energy?
200
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of the suns energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is a solar powered calculator?
200
When an atom is broken apart.
What is fission?
200
This is what you feel when you put your hand on the speaker of a radio that is turned on.
What are vibrations?
300
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to light energy.
What is a lamp?
300
An example of something that uses fission is this.
What is the sun?
300
Bats use this to help them locate food.
What is echolacation?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
Energy stored in foods.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of light energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
400
An example of something that uses fusion is this.
What is a nuclear power plant?
400
Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
What are elephants?
500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules. (Speed)
What is thermal energy?
500
This is an example of kinetic energy from water being changed to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
What is a power plant?
500
This is the reason so many people are opposed to nuclear energy.
What is radioactive waste?
500
