100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
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
What energy is measured in
Joules
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is a solar powered calculator?
200
Thermal energy is transferred by conduction, convection, and _________
Radiation
200
Longitudinal wave in an elastic medium producing an audible sensation.
What are sound waves?
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 radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
300
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
300
What is the highest point on a wave?
crest
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
400
This type of electromagnetic wave can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.

What is kinetic energy?
500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
500
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
What is a power plant?
