What is kinetic (mechanical)
The change of energy from one form to another
What is energy transformation?
The type of Energy that depends on mass and position
What is potential energy
Explain the transformation that takes place when you use a toaster
What is electrical energy to radiant energy
As the speed of a falling object increases, its potential energy will _____________________.
What is decrease
Stored energy is also known as...
What is potential
The internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules.
What is thermal energy?
Type of energy that depends on the speed of molecules.
What is thermal or heat energy
Explain the tranfer of energy in photosynthesis
What radiant energy to chemical energy?
A generator converts mechanical energy into this ...
What is electric energy
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
What is mechanial energy?
Type of energy that depends on the flow of electrons
What is electrical energy
Explain the energy transformation when an arrow is drawn back then released
What is elastic potential energy to kinectic mechanical energy?
A basketball is dropped from a height of 2m and another identical basketball is dropped from a height of 4m. Which ball has more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground?
What is The basketball dropped from a height of 4m because it has more speed.
The transfer of heat in which the warmer parts move up and the colder parts move down
What is conevtion?
The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.
What is radiation?
Type of energy stored in bonds
What is Chemical energy
Explain the transformation that takes place when you turn on a flashlight. From the battery to the light. 4 steps
What is Chemical (of the battery) to electrical (flow of elctrons) to radient (of the light) to thermal ( the heat produced by the light)
When you drop a tennis ball, it hits the floor and bounces back up. But, it does not reach the same height as before and each time bounce is smaller than the previous one. However, you notice the tennis ball is slightly warmer after it finishes bouncing. Explain how the law of conservation of energy is obeyed.
What is During each bounce, some of the kinetic energy of the ball in transfered into thermal energy. As a result, energy is not created or destroyed, but only changes form so that the law of conservation of energy is obeyed.
What can of energy is contained in the nucleus of an atom
What is nuclear energy?
Name Each type of energy and give an example.
Kinetic, Potential, Light, Heat, Chemical, Nuclear, and electrical
