What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye and is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What unit is used to measure energy?

Back

Energy is measured in Joules.

What is the role of photosynthesis in energy transformation?

Back

Photosynthesis transforms light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

How does a battery work in terms of energy transformation?

Back

A battery transforms chemical energy into electrical energy, which can then be converted into light energy in a flashlight.
