Introduction to Energy- Lesson 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
chemical energy | a form of potential energy. The amount of chemical energy depends on the kinds of atoms and their arrangement. |
electrical energy | energy that results from the position or motion of charged particles |
electromagnetic energy | energy that is transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. |
energy | In science, the ability to cause change. |
energy transformation | takes place when energy changes from one form to another. |
kinetic energy | the energy of an object that is due to motion |
Law of conservation of energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. |
mechanical energy | the sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy. |
nuclear energy | the nucleus of an atom is the source of nuclear energy |
potential energy | energy that an object has due to its position, condition, or chemical composition. |
sound energy | kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium such as steel, water or air |
thermal energy | thermal energy of an object s the kinetic energy of it particles. The faster the particles move the more thermal energy the object has. |
