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. |
