Energy & Energy Transfer

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It is the energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.

What is the principle of energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the process of energy moving from one system or object to another, often resulting in a change in energy form.

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

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