Types of Energy

Front

What is Elastic Energy?

Back

Elastic Energy is the potential energy stored in an elastic object when it is stretched or compressed, such as a rubber band.

Front

What is the definition of Energy?

Back

Energy is the capacity to do work.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical Energy is the potential energy stored in the interatomic bonds of a substance.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is an example of Chemical Energy?

Back

An example of Chemical Energy is the energy stored in food or fuel.

Front

What is the difference between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is stored energy based on position, while Kinetic Energy is energy of motion.

Front

What is Gravitational Energy?

Back

Gravitational Energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal Energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Front

What is an example of Elastic Energy?

Back

An example of Elastic Energy is a stretched rubber band or a compressed spring.
