Energy and its Form
The ability to do work is?
Energy
An objects gravitational potential energy is based on its
mass, height and acceleration
False. It CAN be converted from one form to another.
What kind of energy resources exist in limited quantities and once used cannot be replaced except over the course of millions years?
Nonrenewable Energy Resources
Sunlight that is converted into usable energy
Solar Energy
The transfer of energy is?
Work
The potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed is known as?
Elastic Potential Energy
What does the law of conservation of energy state?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Oil, natural gas and uranium are examples of what kind of energy resources?
Nonrenewable Energy Resources
The chemical energy stored in living things is called?
Biomass energy
The energy of motion is called?
Kinetic Energy
The 6 major forms of energy are?
Mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, and nuclear energy
What is one of the most common energy conversions?
It is between Kinetic and Potential energy. The gravitational potential energy of an objects is converted to kinetic energy of motion as the object falls down.
Energy resources that can be replaced in a relatively short period of time are?
Renewable resources
Findings ways to use less energy or to use energy more efficiently is known as
energy conservation
Energy that is stored as a result of position or shape?
Potential Energy
Energy that is stored in chemical bonds
Chemical energy
What does Einsteins equation tell us?
Energy and mass are equivalent and can be converted into each other.
Energy Obtained from flowing water is?
Hydroelectric energy
What could be done to make present energy resources last longer?
Potential energy that depends on upon an objects height is called?
Gravitational Potential Energy
The total potential and kinetic energy related to the motion of all microscopic particles in an object make up its what?
Thermal Energy
What type of energy change results when friction slows down an object?
Friction causes the conversion of kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Thermal energy below earth surface is called?
Geothermal energy
If speed of an object doubles its kinetic energy
quadruples
