Energy Transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

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

Front

What are the main types of energy?

Back

The main types of energy include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, and light energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

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 factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, which is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens when a lamp is plugged in and working?

Back

When a lamp is plugged in and working, it transforms electrical energy into light energy.

What energy transformation occurs in a battery-operated radio?

Back

In a battery-operated radio, the energy transformation is from chemical energy to electrical energy to sound energy.
