Forms of Energy
Its a wild ride!!!
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ability to do work | energy |
| friction | changes kinetic energy into thermal; force that opposes motion |
| energy source that can be replaced at the same rate that they are used | renewable resources |
| energy source that can not be replaced or is used at a rate faster than it can be replaced | nonrenewable resource |
| total potential and kinetic energy of an object | mechanical energy |
| energy resource that requires the splitting of the atom | nuclear energy |
| when plants change solar energy into chemical energy | photosynthesis |
| energy of position or stored energy | potential |
| energy resource where water is pumped down into the Earth near hot rock | geothermal |
| Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change forms or be transferred to other objects | law of conservation of energy |
| energy source caused by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface | wind |
| energy resource that releases energy by burning plants, wood, and organic waste | biomass energy |
| energy is transferred only amongst a group of objects | closed system |
| energy of motion | kinetic |
| potential energy stored in an object when is lifted against gravity | gravitational |
| energy reources that form from the buried remains of plants and animals from millions of years ago | fossil fuel |
| energy resource when sunlight is changed into electrical energy | solar |
| potential energy stored in an object when it is bent, twisted, stretched or deformed in any way | elastic |
