What is energy conversion?

Back

Energy conversion is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from kinetic energy to electrical energy.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object, which is used to do work.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons, often used to power devices.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often associated with heat.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food and fuel.

Front

What is solar energy?

Back

Solar energy is the energy from the sun, which can be converted into thermal or electrical energy.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves, which can be heard by the human ear.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a rock at the top of a hill.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and speed.
