Energy Conversions Chapter 1 Test

Front

What are the different forms of energy?

Back

Forms of energy include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, and nuclear energy.

Front

What does synthesis mean in the context of information?

Back

Synthesis means to combine multiple pieces of information to create a comprehensive understanding of a topic.

Front

What is the role of an engineer?

Back

An engineer uses scientific knowledge to design solutions to problems, often creating new technologies or systems.

Front

What is an electrical device?

Back

An electrical device is a machine that converts electrical energy into another form of energy, such as mechanical, thermal, or light energy.

Front

Do systems interact with each other?

Back

False. Systems do interact with other systems, influencing and affecting each other's behavior.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, dependent on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is the principle of energy conservation?

Back

The principle of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to its temperature.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, which can be released during a chemical reaction.
