Types of Energy

Front

Energy released when atoms split or join together is called?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions, such as fission (splitting atoms) or fusion (joining atoms).

Front

Energy transferred through a medium by a longitudinal wave is called?

Back

Sound energy is the energy carried by sound waves, which are longitudinal waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel.

Front

Which of the following is not a type of energy? Mechanical, Gravitational, Electrical, A wave?

Back

A wave is not a type of energy; it is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium.

Front

Energy made available through the flow of electric current is called?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy of charged particles.

Front

What are the two types of mechanical energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and Potential energy (stored energy based on position).

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy based on height.

Front

What is Gravitational Energy?

Back

Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy that depends on an object's height above the ground and the force of gravity acting on it.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, which can be released during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Elastic Energy?

Back

Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.
