Forms of Energy
Ms Gaudet running down the hallway is an example of which FORM of energy?
Mechanical Energy
Pulling a drawn bow is which type of energy? Kinetic or Potential?
Potential energy
Plug in toaster -> Toaster coils heat up
Electrical -> Thermal
Give an example of something with kinetic energy
(answers may vary)
A battery stores what FORM of energy?
Chemical Energy
A shooting star has which type of energy? Kinetic or Potential?
Kinetic energy
Battery -> Energy moves through wires -> Flashlight turns on (2)
Chemical -> Electrical -> Light & Thermal
How would you define Potential Energy?
Energy that is stored. Energy that is not being used (currently). Energy that has the potential to do work or the potential to be converted into other forms of energy.
Charging your phone requires which FORM of energy?
Electrical energy
Is light energy a type of Potential energy or Kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy
Gasoline -> Car Driving -> Tires causing friction on the road
Chemical -> Mechanical -> Thermal
What is energy?
The ability to do work or produce change.
When is your quiz on energy?
Next Class! (Wednesday)
A power plant would store which FORM of energy?
Nuclear Energy
Is chemical energy a type of potential or kinetic energy?
Potential
Water running through dam -> Turns generator -> Energy moves through power lines -> Lights turn on
Mechanical -> Mechanical -> Electrical -> Light
A material that can release energy during a chemical change is called WHAT?
Fuel
The sun gives off 2 forms of energy. What are they?
Light and Thermal energy
Sort all 6 of the forms of energy into either Potential or Kinetic energies:
Light
Thermal
Nuclear
Mechanical
Chemical
Electrical
Potential= Chemical & Nuclear
Kinetic= Light, Thermal, Electrical, Mechanical
Sun -> What the sun gives off (2) -> Energy stored in plants -> (human eats plant) dancing
nuclear -> light & thermal -> chemical -> mechanical
What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed.
