Tech 8: Week 8
Energy Conversion | Changing one form of energy into another - A flashlight changes chemical energy from batteries into light energy - Light energy is converted into electrical energy through solar panels |
Potential Energy | Energy that is stored but is not used (a coiled spring) |
Kinetic Energy | Energy in motion (moving water, wind, and electrical current) |
Renewable Resources | Resources that are not depleted when used |
Nonrenewable Resources | Resources that cannot be readily replaced by natural means |
