Types of Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy that is stored to be transformed at a later time | potential energy |
| Stored energy released when an object’s shape is changed (as in a stretched rubber band or a coiled spring) | elastic potential energy |
| Ability to do work | energy |
| A push or pull that acts on an object | force |
| The force of attraction between any two masses. Near the Earth’s surface, this is the force that attracts objects toward the center of Earth | gravity |
| In the formula for kinetic energy, what does the m stand for? | mass |
| A change from one form of energy to another is called a(n) | energy conversion |
| Energy of Motion | kinetic energy |
| Speed would have the greatest effect on ___________ energy. | kinetic energy |
| When the skateboarder reaches the top of the half-pipe, which type of energy is at its maximum? | potential energy |
| When the rubber band on the airplane is released, the stored energy becomes? | kinetic energy |
| How does increasing mass affect kinetic energy? | the greater the mass the greater the kinetic energy |

| Energy of an object that increases as the object's temperature increases. | Heat energy |
| Energy carried by light. | Solar Energy |
| Energy carried by the electric current that comes out batteries and electric outlets. | Electric Energy |
| Energy stored in chemical bonds. | Chemical Energy |
| The force you exert on a machine. | Input Force |
| The force machine exerts on an object. | Output Force |
| The _______ is an example of solar energy | Sun |
| The energy of position from the earth. | Gravitiational |
