Unit 4 pretest-FORMS OF ENERGY & ENERGY TRANSFORMATION

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting potential energy into kinetic energy.

Front

What are the main forms of energy?

Back

The main forms of energy include kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrical, radiant, and nuclear energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a rock at the top of a hill.

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 mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons, commonly used to power devices.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

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

Front

What is radiant energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, such as light from the sun.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to its temperature.

Front

What is hydropower?

Back

Hydropower is energy derived from the movement of water, typically used to generate electricity.
