Forms of Energy
Form of energy that moves something else
Mechanical
Two types of energy that travels in waves...
Sound and Radiant
In an Energy Transfer the form of energy...
A windmill transforms...
Mechanical Energy to Electric Energy
Decreasing Thermal energy changing liquids into solids
Freezing
Examples include digestion, gasoline, and batteries
Chemical
Cellphone signals travel on this energy wave
Microwaves
The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves
Radiation
Anything not part of an Energy System
The Environment
Has Mass + Takes up Space
An electric current is what main type of energy
Kinetic
The wavelength that allows all things to be seen
Visible Light
A pan heating up on a stove top
Conduction
The Law of Conservation of Energy states:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred or transformed
State of Matter with the most Kinetic Energy
Gas
A bowling ball and a kick ball are on the same shelf, which has more potential energy
Bowling ball
The most powerful wavelength used to kill cancer cells (or turn you into Hulk)
Gamma Rays
The transfer of thermal energy in our Earth's Mantle
Convection
Using a lighter transforms....
Chemical Energy into Thermal and Radiant Energy
Increasing Thermal Energy changing liquids to gas
Vaporization
Examples include light, colors, microwaves, and UV rays
Radiant Energy
All waves on the electromagnetic spectrum originate from
Stars/The Sun
The same temperature
A microwave oven transforms....
Electric to Radiant Energy
Condensation results in this springtime staple
Rain
