Energy

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of power in the context of energy?

Back

Power is the amount of work done in a certain amount of time.

Front

What type of energy transformation occurs when a person climbs a ladder?

Back

Both potential energy and kinetic energy are involved.

Front

What is heat in terms of thermal energy?

Back

Heat is the thermal energy that travels from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object.

Front

What type of energy does a generator convert mechanical energy into?

Back

Electrical energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential energy (PE) = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the relationship between work and energy?

Back

Work is done when energy is transferred from one system to another.
