Question | Answer |
---|---|
energy | The Ability to do work or cause change |
work | when a force is used to move and object over a distance or cause change |
force | A PUSH OR A PULL |
Chemical energy | energy that is stored in the particles of matter (H20 , food , batteries , plants , ect.) |
mechanical energy | energy of motion or moving parts ( bicycle , wind turbine , ocean waves , ect.) |
radiant energy | energy that travels on invisible waves (sunlight (solar energy), heat from fire, x-rays, microwaves.) |
thermal energy | the energy that all matter has because its particles (atoms, molecules) are in motion |
electrical energy | the energy that comes from moving electrons (can be static or current.) |
potential energy | Energy that is stored and ready to be used |
kinetic energy | energy that is working or in motion |
law of conservation energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed (transformed, converted) to a different form or transferred from one object or another |
Conserve | to save. in respect to energy, it means that energy is never created or destoryed, but always stays the same amount, even when it is transferred or transformed. |
transfer | to move something to one place or one object to another - the same type of energy can passed along from one object |
transform or convert | other words that mean the same thing as the word change. Heat - the transfer or flow of thermal energy from warmer object to a cooler object |
