Types of Energy
Define Energy
Energy is the ability to do change or do work
This type of energy is considered stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This form of energy allows us to see.
What is Radiant Energy?
The type of energy do you receive when you listen to the radio.
What is Sound energy?
When thermal energy is increased, matter will expand. When thermal energy is DECREASED, matter will do what?
What is contract?
Pulling a wagon across the floor is an example of this type of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
This is where a ball rolling down a hill has the most potential energy.
What is the top of the hill?
This form of energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom
what is Nuclear Energy?
List at least 3 types of energy used by a TV.
What is light energy, electrical energy, thermal energy, sound energy,
Using a magnifying glass to focus the rays from the sun, you can transform solar energy into this type of energy.
What is thermal/heat energy?
Your body turns food into this type of energy when it is digested.
What is Chemical energy?
If you bent down and prepared to jump, it would be considered this form of energy.
What is potential energy?
This form of energy is created when particles of an atom move?
What is Thermal Energy?
What type of energy is stored in objects when they are forced to change shape?
Give one example
What is Elastic/ Stored Mechanical Energy?
Clouds are visible to us because THIS form of energy is reflected off earth.
What is light energy?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change form.
A ball being dropped and bouncing is a good example of this form of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
What type of kinetic energy comes from the earth's core?
What is Geothermal Energy?
This form of energy can be converted from solar energy, chemical energy, and mechanical energy to help power appliances throughout your home.
What is electrical energy?
If a plant is grown in the dark, it may not grow as quickly as a plant that is grown using this form of energy.
What is solar energy?
Burning coal and creating steam which then turns a turbine, is an example of this form of energy transforming into another form of energy (list both forms).
What is chemical energy transformed into kinetic/mechanical energy?
All of the following except one are examples of kinetic energy in use: a person on a swing, a ball being dropped, a book on a table, a baseball bat swinging.
What is a book on a table?
The type of energy that is ALWAYS released when energy is transformed.
What is Thermal (heat) Energy?
Name the 4 types of potential energies.
What is Chemical, Nuclear, Elastic, and Gravitational
Name the 5 types of kinetic energy.
What is Mechanical, Radiant, Thermal, Sound and Electrical
