Front

What are the energy transformations that occur in a digital music player?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of light energy being transformed into chemical energy?

Front

What type of energy does a hairdryer convert?

Back

Electrical energy into thermal energy.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

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.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.
