Types of Energy - LVL 2

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing. For example, a rubber band has elastic potential energy when it is stretched.

What type of energy does a fridge primarily use?

Back

A fridge primarily uses electrical energy to operate.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food, batteries, and fuels. It is released during a chemical reaction.

Front

What type of energy is released by a Bunsen burner?

Back

A Bunsen burner releases thermal energy when it burns fuel.

Front

What type of energy do Christmas tree lights use?

Back

Christmas tree lights use electrical energy to produce light.

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

What is thermal energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height above the ground.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves. It is a form of mechanical energy.

Front

What is nuclear energy?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, where atomic nuclei are split or combined.
