Forms of Energy
This form of energy is characterized by the flow of electrons, usually through wires.
What is Electrical Energy?
The energy present when a bowling ball hits the pins.
What is Kinetic Energy?
The two main energy transformations in a flashlight.
What is chemical to light(radiant) energy?
The average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object.
What is temperature?
The motion in which potential energy looks like "W" on a diagram and kinetic energy looks like "M"
What is pendulum motion?
The form of energy stored in the bonds between molecules (or compounds).
What is Chemical Energy?
The energy present when a sled sits at the top of a hill.
What is Potential Energy?
The three main energy transformations in a fire.
What are chemical to thermal and light?
This is the way the heat always moves.
What is hot to cold?
The state of matter an object will be in at the highest temps on a phase change diagram.
What is a gas?
The form of energy from the nucleus of an atom fusing with another or being split apart.
What is Atomic/Nuclear Energy?
Two pennies are thrown off a building- one from the third floor and one from the tenth floor. This is when the penny has the most potential energy.
What is the tenth floor?
The three main energy transformations in a ceiling fan.
What is electrical to mechanical and kinetic (wind)?
The thermal energy transfer that causes you to burn your finger when you change a lightbulb that was just turned off.
What is conduction?
The state of matter an object will be in at the lowest temps on a phase change diagram.
What is a solid?
The form of energy given off be the sun.
What is Electromagnetic?
When a group of race cars are racing around a track, this the is car with the most kinetic energy.
What is the car in first place?
The two main energy transformations if you turn on a gas grill.
What is chemical to thermal energy?
The thermal energy transfer that causes wind and weather patterns in Earth's atmosphere.
What is convection?
The motion which on a PE diagram shows the KE decreases initially then levels off, and the PE increases initially then levels off, until they run parallel to each other.
What is orbital motion?
Kinetic plus potential equals....
What is Mechanical Energy?
If the total energy in a roller coaster is 140 Joules, and 80 of them come from the motion of the car at a given point, this much energy is stored.
What is 60 Joules?
The form of energy that is almost always a byproduct in every energy transformation.
What is thermal energy?
The thermal energy transfer that makes life on Earth possible.
What is radiation?
What a substance is doing during the flat spots on a phase change diagram.
What is changing state?
