Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is Potential Energy? | Energy that is stored in an object because of its position or state |
What is Kinetic Energy? | Energy in action - brings about a change |
What is HEAT energy? | Energy something has because of its temperature |
What is LIGHT energy? | Electromagnetic radiation carried by waves |
What is SOUND energy? | Energy carried by sound waves |
What is CHEMICAL energy? | Potential for a substance to react and transform |
What is GRAVITATIONAL energy? | Energy stored in objects in position to fall |
What is MOTION energy? | Energy found in moving objects |
What is ELECTRICAL energy? | Energy provided by electrical charges |
What is ELASTIC energy? | Energy stored in stretchy or compressed objects |
Which energy form changes into energy in motion when objects fall? | Gravitational energy |
The higher the temperature, the more of this energy form an object has. | Heat energy |
Which form of energy allows us to hear? | Sound energy |
What is the difference between potential energy (stored energy) and kinetic energy (energy in action)? | Energy in action (kinetic) is in motion and brings change, and stored energy (potential) is available to make things happen, but is not bringing change at that moment. |
