Forms of Energy
What is kinetic energy
Heat transfer through direct contact.
What is conduction
This measure the average kinetic energy of particles
What is temperature
This is a renewable energy source that uses moving air
What is wind energy
This happens when energy changes from one form to another.
What is an energy transformation?
This type of energy is stored and ready to be used
What is potential energy
Heat transfer by the movement of liquids or gases.
What is convection
This is the total energy of all particles in a substance
What is thermal energy
This is a non-renewable energy source formed from ancient plants and animals.
What are fossil fuels
A toaster changes electrical energy into this type of energy.
What is thermal energy?
This type of energy is found in food and batteries.
What is chemical energy
Heat transfer through empty space.
What is radiation
When particles move faster, this increases
What is temperature
This renewable energy comes from the sun.
What is solar energy?
A moving fan shows electrical energy changing into this.
What is mechanical energy?
This energy is associated with moving objects like a rolling ball or spinning wheels.
What is mechanical energy
Boiling water is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is convection
Heat always moves in this direction
What is from high temperature to low temperature
One disadvantage of renewable energy is that it can be this.
What is expensive (to set up)?
A solar panel converts sunlight into this type of energy.
What is electrical energy?
This type of energy travels in waves and can move through space.
What is light energy
This type of heat transfer occurs when you touch a hot pan.
What is conduction
A bathtub and a cup of water of the same temperature; this one has more thermal energy
What is the bathtub
One major disadvantage of non-renewable energy sources.
What is they harm the environment (or cause pollution)?
This type of energy is always produced during energy transformations.
What is heat (thermal energy)?
