Types of Energy
This type of energy is the energy of motion.
What is Kinetic Energy
This type of energy depends on how fast the particles of an object are moving
What is Thermal Energy?
Heat transfer through direct contact is called this.
What is Conduction?
Mechanical energy is the sum of these two types of energy.
What is Kinetic & Potential Energy?
This energy is produced by the flow of electric current.
What is Electrical Energy?
This energy is stored and has the potential to cause motion.
What is potential energy?
Heat always moves from this to this.
What is from warm to cold?
Heat transfer that happens through liquids or gases in circular motion is called this.
What is Convection?
A roller coaster sitting at the top of a hill has mostly this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
A lamp, printer, or Chromebook uses this type of energy.
What is Electrical Energy?
This energy is stored when an object is stretched or compressed.
What is Elastic Energy?
This measures the average kinetic energy of particles.
What is temperature?
Heat transfer that does NOT need matter and travels through open space is called this.
What is Radiation?
As a roller coaster goes downhill, its energy changes from this to this.
What is Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy?
Energy carried by light waves is called this.
What is Radiant Energy?
This energy travels through a medium like air or water in waves.
What is Sound Energy?
Name one temperature scale used to measure temperature.
What is Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Boiling water is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is Convection?
Energy an object has because of its height above the ground is called this.
What is Gravitational Energy?
The sun is an example of this type of energy.
What is Radiant Energy?
This type of energy is stored in chemical bonds and released during chemical reactions.
What is Chemical Energy?
When two objects reach the same temperature, they are in this state.
What is Thermal Equilibrium?
Feeling warmth from the sun on your skin is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is Radiation?
Jumping off a diving board is an example of this type of energy.
What is Gravitational Energy?
This type of energy comes from atoms colliding or splitting apart.
What is Nuclear Energy?
