100
The batteries in a flashlight have this kind of potential energy.
What is chemical?
100
The energy from flowing water is known as this type of kinetic energy.
What is mechanical?
100
This states that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
100
Oil, coal and natural gas are all examples of this.
What are fossil fuels?
100
Anything with the ability to cause change is known as this.
What is energy?
200
Objects that have the potential to fall are this type of energy.
What is gravitational (positional)?
200
This is the type of kinetic energy that light has.
What is radiant?
200
A fan changes electrical energy into this kind of energy.
What is mechanical?
200
Homes can heat themselves naturally from the EARTH with this type of power.
What is Geothermal?
200
If the mass of an object moving at a given speed decreases, its kinetic energy will do this.
What is decrease?
300
Food contains this source of potential energy.
What is chemical?
300
This is when a falling object has the LEAST amount of kinetic energy.
What is just before it fell?
300
A television changes this kind of energy into sound and light energy.
What is electrical?
300
This is the term used for a resource that can NOT be used up by humans, like solar energy.
What is inexhaustible?
300
A stretched rubber band is an example of this type of potential energy.
What is stored mechanical?
400
This potential energy comes from the bonds of protons in a hydrogen atom.
What is nuclear?
400
This is another term for radiant/light/solar energy.
What is Electromagnetic Energy?
400
These are the three energy transformations occurring in a nuclear power plant, generator and power lines.
What are thermal, kinetic and electrical?
400
The ocean is in constant motion, and so its waves can produce this alternative energy.
What is tidal energy?
400
Almost all of Earth's energy originates from this source (without it, we would be doomed).
What is the sun?
500
When the nucleus of an atom splits apart, it is known as this.
What is nuclear fission?
500
This kinetic energy maintains your body temperature.
What is thermal energy?
500
Transforming the potential energy of water that is trapped behind dams into electricity is known as this.
What is hydroelectricity?
500
This device transforms radiant energy into electrical energy.
What is a photovoltaic?
500
Muscles perform this energy transformation. _____________ to _____________
