Forms of Energy
This is form of energy is movement. It is created by a machine or moving part.
What is mechanical energy?
This always travels in a straight line, and can travel through different types of matter and environments such as air, water, glass, and even the vacuum of outer space.
What is light?
As a rollercoaster zooms along a track, what energy does it show?
What is mechanical energy (potential to kinetic)?
After being rubbed with a wool cloth, a balloon sticks to a wall. It is because of this....
This form of energy can be heard and is made by vibrating objects.
What is sound energy?
This refers to the bouncing back of light.
What is reflection?
Submarines and dolphins use this property of waves.
What is sonar (echolocation, reflection)?
The faster sound vibrations travel the _______ the pitch.
What is higher?
This form of energy is caused by the flow of electrons. It travels in circuits.
What is electrical energy?
This refers to the bending of light.
What is refraction?
Infrared represents this form of energy.
What is radiant energy (electromagnetic)?
The slower vibrations travel, the _________ the pitch.
What is lower?
This form of energy travels in waves through space.
What is light energy?
This refers to an object the lets some of the light through it.
What is translucent?
The outlet to a stove shows this type of energy transformation.
What is electrical to heat/thermal energy?
This type of energy is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This form of energy is created by molecules moving quickly.
What is thermal/heat energy?
Property that causes waves to bend around obstacles or openings.
What is diffraction?
Ice cream to a jogger shows this energy transformation.
What is chemical to mechanical energy?
This type of energy has movement.
What is kinetic energy?
