| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ability to cause change | energy |
| energy of motion | kinetic |
| stored energy | potential |
| energy isn't created or destroyed | law of conservation of energy |
| energy that moves in waves through the ground | seismic waves |
| energy that comes from vibrating particles | thermal |
| energy stored in the bonds between atoms | chemical |
| energy stored in the nucleus of an atom | nuclear |
| energy carried by moving electrons | electric |
| energy that an object has due to the motion and position of its parts | mechanical |
| Kinetic and potential energy are the two _________________of energy | states |
| radiant energy is another name for | electromagnetic waves |
| electromagnetic wave energy that humans can see | visible light |
| sound waves that humans can hear | audible |
| Sound waves that are too low for humans to hear. Used by giraffes, elephants, blue whales. | infrasound |
| Sound waves that are too high for humans to hear. Used to map the ocean floor or to show the image of a baby. | ultrasound |
| Electromagnetic waves that are given off by the sun and have a very high frequency | UV waves |
| Electromagnetic waves that we use to cook food - they are very large | microwaves |
| When particles are vibrating with a lot of kinetic energy, the temperature of a substance is | hot |
| Thermal energy transfer that comes through space from the sun | radiation |
| Thermal energy transfer that is found in boiling water, magma, and the atmosphere | convection currents |
| Thermal energy transfer that occurs when you touch a hot pan | conduction |
| potential energy depends on height and | mass |
| kinetic energy depends on mass and | speed |
| energy form that an object has when it is moving | mechanical |
| the light from a lightbulb | radiant |
| every time energy is changed into a different form, _________________________energy is given off | thermal |
| closed loop of moving electrons | closed circuit |
| stored energy that an object has due to it's height above the ground | gravitational potential energy |
| stored energy that a rubber band has | elastic potential energy |
| splitting an atom's nucleus to release energy | nuclear fission |
| fusing two atomic nuclei together to release energy | nuclear fusion |
| form of energy that created the sun | nuclear |
