What is mechanical energy.
The energy an object has because of its position; also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds.
What is potential energy.
The rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy.
The ability to do work and cause change.
What is energy.
Name the 8 different types/forms of energy.
Kinetic, Potential, Mechanical, Nuclear, Thermal, Electrical, Electromagnetic, Chemical
What is energy measured in?
What is joules.
A change from one form of energy to another; also called an energy conversion.
What is energy transformation.
The potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

If a pendulum is allowed to continue to swing, it will eventually stop. Explain why?
The energy of electric charges.
What is electrical energy.
Energy an object has due to its motion.
What is kinetic energy.
The energy of a stretched or compressed object.
What is elastic potential energy.
What is the equation for Kinetic Energy?
What is 1/2 x Mass x Speed2.
A hat that weighs 5 newtons is hanging from a hook 6 meters above the floor. How much gravitational potential energy does the hat have?
What is 30 joules.
The energy of light and other forms of radiation, which travels through space waves.
What is electromagnetic energy.
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object.
What is thermal energy.
A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms.
What is chemical energy.
Potential energy that depends on the height of an object.
What is gravitational potential energy.
What is nuclear fission?
What is when the nucleus splits to cause a reaction.
What is the equation for Potential Energy?
What is Weight x Height.
Give an example of a Single Transformation or Energy.

What is the equation for Mechanical Energy?
What is potential energy + kinetic energy.
Give an example of a Multiple Transformation of Energy.
What is a Sun's electromagnetic energy transforming to a plant's chemical energy which transforms into a person's kinetic energy.
What is nuclear fusion.
What is when the nuclei of atoms join together to cause a reaction.
