Stored Energy
What is potential energy?
100

the energy generated by the movement of electrons from one point to another

What is Electrical Energy?

100

The total sum of particles moving around in one object

What is Thermal Energy

100

What is the energy transformation of a Flashlight?

Chemical->Electrical->Light + Thermal

100
The transfer of thermal energy through physical touch

What is Conduction?

200
What is an example of Potential Energy?
Roller Coaster sitting on top of a hill
200

the energy due to the motion (kinetic) and position (potential) of an object.

What is Mechanical Energy

200
What is the difference between potential and kinetic?
Potential energy is energy waiting to go into motion. Kinetic energy is energy in motion.
200
What is the energy transformation in the Human body?
Chemical->Heat
200

The transfer of thermal energy through liquid or gas in the form of cyclical currents

What is Convection

300
what is an example of potential energy?
A stunt driver at the top of a ramp
300

Energy that travels in invisible waves and does not need a medium to travel (light energy is a type of this energy)

What is Electromagnetic energy

300

The law of conservation of energy states that...

what is, Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed

300

What is the energy transformation in a Windmill?

Mechanical -> Electrical

300

The transfer of Thermal energy through space

What is Radiation?

400

Energy of an object in motion

What is Kinetic Energy

400
A form of energy that is Stored in the bonds between molecules/elements

What is Chemical Energy?

400

why can energy only flow from hot to cold and not the other way around?

what is, you can only take heat away

400
What is the energy transformation in a campfire?
Chemical->Heat and Light
400

Thermal Energy transfer ALWAYS flows...

What is, from hot to cold?

500

How does a pendulum represent potential energy

What is when it goes up it has potential energy?

500
A form of Energy Stored in the center or nucleus of an atom
What is Nuclear Energy
500

Heat can be scientifically described as this

the result of the transfer of thermal energy from one medium or object to another, or from an energy source to a medium or object

500

What is the energy transformation in the Sun?

Nuclear ->Light + Heat

500
What is one thing that shows conduction, convection and radiation?
A fire because when you put your hand over it you get convection, when you hang marshmallows over it you get conduction and when you put your hand beside it you get convection
