Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state? | The Law of Conservation states that any amount of energy is neither created or destroyed. |
What is an “Energy Transformation”? | An Energy transformation is the changing of energy from one type to another. |
What is Conduction? | The transfer of heat by direct contact when particles collide |
What is Convection? | The flow of currents in a liquid or gas. |
What is Radiation? | Heat that transfers through space by electromagnetic waves. |
What is Mechanical energy? | The total or sum of energy associated with the motion and position of an object. Potential energy + kinetic energy = mechanical energy |
What is Electrical energy? | It's energy that is made available through the flow of electric current through a conductor. |
What is Light/radiant energy? | It's energy carried by light and other types of electromagnetic radiation. |
What is Chemical energy? | It's energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds that is released during reactions. |
What is Elastic energy? | It's energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched. |
What is Nuclear energy? | It's energy that's released when atoms split (fission) or join together (fusion). |
What is Heat/thermal energy? | It's energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms or molecules. |
What is Sound energy? | It's energy transferred through a substance (medium) by a longitudinal wave. |
What is Gravitational energy? | It's the amount of energy of an object due to its high position compared to a low position. |
In the world around you, energy is ____________ continually between one form and another. | transforming (changing) |
