forms of energy
different forms of energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Another word for radiant; the only form of energy that we can directly see | light |
| Energy released when atoms split or join together | nuclear energy |
| Energy of an object due to its motion | kinetic energy |
| Potential energy + Kinetic energy of an object | mechanical energy |
| Radiant energy that comes from the sun | solar energy |
| Use of heat from the Earth to transform energy | mechanical energy |
| Change of energy that is constantly occurring | geothermal energy |
| Heat energy; increases as the temperature increases | transformation |
| Uses the gravitational pull of the Earth and moon to transform energy | thermal energy |
| Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is only transformed into another type of energy. | tidal energy |
| Uses the kinetic force of waves to transform energy | Law of Conservation of Energy |
| Energy transferred at the atomic level due to a difference in temperature; another word for thermal | wave energy |
| Energy of an object due to its position | heat |
| Renewable energy source that transforms the kinetic energy of falling water into electricity | potential energy |
| Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds that is released during reactions | hydroelectric power |
| Energy made from vibrations of magnetism and electricity; only type of wave that can travel through empty space | chemical energy |
| Potential energy of a magnetic field; energy is stronger at the poles | electromagnetic energy |
| Natural materials and waste products that are burned to generate electricity | magnetic energy |
| Energy that comes from the flow of an electric current through a conductor; secondary energy source | biomass |
| Caused by an object’s vibrations being transmitted through the air in the form of waves | electrical energy |
| The ability to make matter move or change | sound energy |
| Energy carried by light and other types of electromagnetic radiation | radiant energy energy |
| Flow of electrons and protons; transferred through electrical energy | electricity |
| A form of solar energy; kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy | wind energy |
| Fuel formed within the earth from decayed plants and animals; coal, oil, and natural gas | fossil fuel |
| chemical, nuclear, gravitational, and mechanical, elastic | forms of potential energy |
| electrical, thermal, radiant, sound, mechanical | forms of kinetic energy |
| radiant | energy from the sun that causes photosynthesis |
| chemical | form of energy in a battery |
| mechanical | form of energy created by wind |
| electrical and radiant | Lightning is what two forms of energy? |
| chemical to thermal to mechanical to electrical | transformations of energy in a coal burning power plant |
| gravitational to mechanical to electrical | transformations of energy in a hydroelectric power plant |
