Science energy
Different types of energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Energy | The capacity/ability, to do work |
| Mechanical energy | Energy produced by the amount of work and object can do such as the sum of KE and PE. Source: movemennt, Ex; roller coaster. |
| Thermal energy | Total energy of all the particles that make up a substance. Source: Friction, Ex: pot on a stove |
| Chemical energy | Stored in the bonds of molecules. Source: breaking the bond(chemical reaction)Ex: Battery |
| Sound energy | Energy produced by movement of molecules in the air that produce vibrations.Source:molecules in medium. Ex: any sound. |
| Electrical energy | Energy due to moving electrons.Source: the electrons. Ex:lightning. |
| Nuclear energy | Stored in the nucleus of an atom. Source: The nucleus. Ex: power plant. |
| Light energy | Particals moving in the form of a wave. Source: sun. Ex: flashlight |
| Energy Transformation | The change of energy from one form to another. |
| Open system | A system in which mass or energy can be lost to or gained from the environment |
| KE | motion |
| PE | the energy stored in something by its position shape or condition of the object. |
| The law | energy cannot be created or destroyed but changed into diffrent forms |
| Friction | when something cant get back to its highest point of energy the energy is lost due to friction , thermal energy and pen system. force that opposes motion. |
