Potential and Kinetic
The energy of motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
This type of energy comes from the sun.
What is solar energy?
The transfer of thermal energy between objects with different temperatures.
What is heat?
Energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
A metal spoon getting hot from sitting in a bowl of soup is an example of this kind of heat transfer.
What is conduction?
Energy that an object has because of its condition or position.
What is potential energy?
This type of energy is stored and must be released by a chemical reaction.
What is chemical energy?
The transfer of thermal energy from one object directly into another (objects must be touching).
What is conduction?
Fireworks have this type of potential energy.
What is chemical energy?
This is a liquid or a gas.
What is a fluid?
This is also known as stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This type of energy comes from an electric current.
What is electric energy?
The transfer of heat through fluid.
What is convection?
A car uses this form of energy when it is moving.
What is mechanical energy?
The blobs moving up and down in a lava lamp are an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is convection?
A roller coaster going down a hill has this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
This type of energy is in the form of vibrations that travel through matter.
What is sound energy?
What is radiation?
This states that energy is never created or destroyed, but it can change forms.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Anything that slows down the movement of thermal energy.
What is an insulator?
A stretched rubber band has this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
This type of energy is the sum of all the potential and kinetic energy in a system.
What is mechanical energy?
Something that transfers thermal energy easily is this.
What is a conductor?
The movement of energy from one place or object to another.
What is energy transfer?
Standing in front of a campfire for warmth is an example of which type of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
