Energy and Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Potential Energy | Energy of position/height |
| Mechanical Energy | The combination of an object's potential and kinetic energy |
| Sound Energy | Vibration of particles from one to the next. (sound vibrates one atom and then the next one and so on) |
| Thermal Energy | Is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. (Heat) |
| Chemical Energy | Is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. (has the potential to release energy) |
| Nuclear Energy | Is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom—the energy that holds the nucleus together. |
| Electromagnetic (light) energy | Is electromagnetic energy that travels in waves. (includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves) |
| Electrical Energy | Is delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire. |
| Energies that are kinetic | thermal, sound, electrical |
| Energies that are potential | chemical, nuclear, gravitational potential energy |
| Energies that are both | mechanical (possibly electrical depending on how you look at it) |
| The law of conservation of energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form. |
