Energy Transformation Test

Front

What is energy?

Back

The ability to do work.

Front

What is light (radiant) energy?

Back

Energy from light waves.

Front

Which is an example of mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. An example is a moving car.

Front

What does the law of conservation of energy state?

Back

Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it only changes form.

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

A change of energy from one form to another.

Front

What are the different forms of energy?

Back

The main forms of energy include kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrical, nuclear, and radiant energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does energy transformation occur in a light bulb?

Back

In a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and thermal energy.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The energy that comes from the temperature of matter; it is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.
