What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy. It happens in a plant
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space. Listen carefully!
What is sound energy
100
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound 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 the fact that it is moving
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy. You probably use them in math class
What is a solar powered calculator?
200
A toaster converts electrical energy to these three forms of energy
What is heat, light, and mechanical energy?
200
It is the energy in a rubber band
What is elastic potential energy?
300
The energy any object has because of its energy is in use
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one. It occurs in the sun and in some power plants
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy. Don't read without one!
What is a lamp?
300
The movement of molecules in boiling water can be described as this type of energy
What is thermal energy?
300
Sun to solar panels to a lamp shows these 3 changes
What is nuclear to electrical to light?
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. When the bonds connecting them break, energy is released
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy to power a home
What are solar panels?
400
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
What are ultraviolet rays?
400
This quality of matter affects energy. The more of this a substance has, the more energy it has
What is mass?
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. The more movement, the more energy
