Question
Answer
Energy   the ability to do work . can never be created or destroyed. gives the ability to do work; a scalar physical quantity that describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force, an attribute of objects and systems  
🗑
mechanical energy   energy that can be used directly to do work. the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored energy. Energy that is capable of doing useful work if it was released. . potential energy is the energy which is possessed by the virtue of its position  
🗑
kinetic Energy   moving energy. the energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion or movement  
🗑
Chemical Energy   the energy set free in a chemical reaction. It is a form of potential energy and results from the making and breaking of chemical bonds.  
🗑
Electrical Energy   energy of moving electric particles; form of potential energy  
🗑
Heat Energy   total kinetic energy of all the particles of a substance  
🗑
Light Energy   energy given out by light sources; only form of energy that you can see directly  
🗑
Sound Energy   energy present in a sound wave, vibrations of the air molecules  
🗑
Renewable Energy   source of the energy is still there after the energy is taken from it. e.g.: wind, solar, hydroelectric  
🗑
Non-Renewable Energy   source of the energy is gone after the energy is taken from it. e.g: nuclear energy, fossil fuels  
🗑
The Sun, our star   Most energy originally comes from this  
🗑
Work   Energy allows this to be done. i.e.: a forces through a distance  
🗑

🗑
Watt   Unit of Power  
🗑
Reservoir   Lots of water can be stored in this  
🗑
Insulation   Reduces heat loss in a house  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   Energy released by splitting atoms nucleus  
🗑
Chemical Energy   type of energy stored in batteries  
🗑
Potential energy   Energy with capacity to do work  
🗑
Coal   a type of dark fossil fuel we burn  
🗑
Motor   electrical energy changes to mechanical energy  
🗑
Bulb   electrical energy changes to light and heat energy  
🗑
Battery   chemical energy changes to electrical energy  
🗑
Microphone   Sound energy changes to electrical energy  
🗑
Speaker   electrical energy changes to sound energy  
🗑
hair-dryer   electrical energy to heat, sound and kinetic energy  
🗑
Bonfire   chemical energy to light, heat and sound energy  
🗑
Dynamo   mechanical energy to electrical energy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
