What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical.

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is produced by sources like the sun, light bulbs, and fire.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

How does energy transfer occur?

Back

Energy transfer occurs when energy moves from one object or system to another, often changing forms in the process.

Front

What is an example of energy conversion?

Back

An example of energy conversion is a battery-powered toy car, where chemical energy in the battery is converted to mechanical energy to move the car.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves. It can be heard when it travels through air, water, or solids.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons. It powers devices like lights, computers, and appliances.
