Types of Energy
Energy of Motion
What is Mechanical Energy
energy from electromagnetic waves
What is radiant energy?
The energy transformations within a flashlight.
Chemical to Electrical to Light and Thermal
Wind turbines convert _________________ energy into electrical energy.
What is mechanical
An energy source that is replenished continually (for example, hydropower, solar power)
renewable resources
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
What is nuclear energy.
Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves
What is sound?
The energy transformations in a toaster.
Electrical to radiant and thermal energy.
When we burn wood in a fire we are converting ______________ energy into ______________, ______________ and _________________.
Chemical to thermal, radiant, sound
An energy source that is used up faster than it can be replaced. (For example: Fossil fuels like coal)
What is a nonrenewable resource
Type of energy that depends on the speed of molecules. We use temperature to measure it.
What is thermal or heat energy
The sun has this type of energy.
What is solar energy
The energy transformations in a wind turbine to generate electricity.
Mechanical to electrical
The energy transformations in a solar dancer.
Radiant to electrical to mechanical (sound/ thermal may be included as well)
A device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy (typically in a power plant)
What is a turbine (generator) (either is acceptable)
If you break your hand you might have to get an X-ray, what type of energy is the actual x-ray?
What is radiant or electromagnetic energy?
In photosynthesis _________________ energy from the sun is transformed into _________________ energy.
Radiant to chemical energy
X-rays and gamma rays are examples of this form of energy.
What is electromagnetic energy.
State the Law of Conservation of Energy
What is Energy can not be created of destroyed it can only be transfered or tranformed.
Batteries have this type of energy
What is chemical energy?
You can hear the sound of someone hammering a nail into the wall. Explain the energy transformations.
Mechanical to sound and (thermal)
Explain the energy transformations that take place when nuclear energy is used to generate electricity.
Nuclear to thermal to mechanical to electrical
What type of energy does a candy bar have?
Chemical
