Examples of Energy
100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100
This is the diffusion of thermal energy (heat) within one material or between materials in contact
What is conduction?
100
A change from one type of energy to another.
What are energy transformations?
100
Plugging in a toaster
What is electrical energy?
200
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
a. candle
b. solar powered calculator
c. fireplace
What is a solar powered calculator?
200
Thermal process by which energy, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is emitted by a heated surface in all directions and travels directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light; thermal radiation does not require an intervening medium to carry it.
What is radiation?
200
Heat from a candle
What is thermal energy?
300
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
a. candle
b. calculator
c. pendulum
d. lamp
What is a lamp?
300
A series of energy transformations required to do work?
What are multiple transformations?
300
Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid. Thermal energy is always transferred from an area with a higher temperature to an area with a lower temperature. Moving particles transfer thermal energy through a fluid by forming currents.
What is convection?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy. (Homes use this)
What are solar panels?
400
When is the potential energy of a pendulum the highest?
What is at the top of the swing?
400
Food
What is chemical energy?
500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
500
Which law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
500
Where (location) the kinetic energy in a pendulum is
at its highest.
What is at the bottom?
500
Nucleus splitting in an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
