Energy Transformations Flashcard

Energy is the ability to do work.

Mechanical energy is the energy of motion.

Chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light energy.

Light energy is the energy we can see.

Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy.

The primary source of energy for a flashlight is chemical energy stored in batteries.

Energy is the capacity to perform work; when work is done, energy is transferred.

In a battery-powered device, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy.

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is energy of motion.

A solar panel transforms light energy from the sun into electrical energy.
