Energy, Transfers, and Transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

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

Front

What is mechanical energy measured in?

Back

Mechanical energy is measured in Joules.

Front

How does height affect energy transfer when dropping an object?

Back

An object will transfer more energy if it is dropped from a higher position.

Front

What is energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one source to another.

Front

What happens to potential energy as a ball rolls down a ramp?

Back

The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

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.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a light bulb?

Back

In a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and thermal energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
