Energy Transformations
This is the energy transformation that takes place in a flashlight.
These are the three methods of heat transfer.
What are conduction, convection, and radiation?
These are the three fossil fuels.
What are oil, coal, and natural gas?
These are the only 2 potential energies in MRS CHEN.
What are Nuclear and Chemical energies?
This is how energy transforms in a hydropower dam.
What is potential into mechanical (kinetic) into electrical?
This is the energy transformation in a windmill.
This is the heat transfer method involved when you burn your hand touching a hot stove.
What is conduction?
These are considered to be renewable or alternative energy resources.
What are wind power, hydropower, solar power, geothermal, and biomass?
These are the 5 kinetic energies. (they move)
What are mechanical, radiant, sound, heat, and electrical.
This is an energy resource that is extremely efficient but is very dangerous. It does not pollute but is nonrenewable.
What is Nuclear power?
This is what the law of conservation of energy states.
When ice is added to a soda, this is what happens to the heat energy.
These energy resources are extremely dependent on weather.
What are solar power and wind power?
This type of energy moves in the form of vibrations.
What is sound energy?
These are the heat transfer methods that happen when the sun heats up the sidewalk and then it burns the bottom of your feet when you walk outside barefoot.
What are radiation and conduction?
This is the energy transformation in a toaster.
What is electrical to thermal/heat transformation?
This is what method of heat transfer occurs when a hot air balloon rises up.
What is convection?
This energy resource is considered to be nonrenewable, extremely efficient, and does not pollute the air.
What is Nuclear power?
Thermal energy or heat energy, moves in only one direction, this is how heat moves.
What is that heat moves from warmer to cooler until both substances are the same temperature.
Wind, boiling water, and a hot air balloon are all examples of this type of heat transfer.
What is convection?
This is the energy transformation in a hair dryer.
What is energy starting as electrical, then mechanical (kinetic), then heat and sound?
This is the method of heat transfer used when laying out by the pool trying to get a tan.
What is Radiation?
These energy resources are capable of producing energy for electricity 24/7.
What are geothermal, nuclear, natural gas, coal, oil, biomass, and hydropower.
Explain what happens to the heat energy in an ice cube that gets left out on the kitchen counter.
Explain how the heat energy from the room around the ice cube shares itself with the ice cube. Te ice cube gains heat energy and melts, the air around it and the counter it is sitting on loses heat energy and cools down. Temperatures will eventually be even.
This is the energy transformation in wind turbines powering a television in the home.
What is mechanical to electrical to sound and light/radiant energies?
