Energy Test Part 2- Energy Forms/Transforms

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Radiant Energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet light. It is the energy that travels through space.

Front

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its molecules. It is often associated with heat.

Front

What is Electrical Energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons. It is used to power devices and appliances.

Front

What is Nuclear Energy?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

Front

How does energy transform in a fire?

Back

In a fire, chemical energy from fuel transforms into radiant energy (light) and thermal energy (heat).

Front

What energy transformation occurs in a fan?

Back

In a fan, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy to create movement.

Front

What type of energy does a rolling bowling ball represent?

Back

A rolling bowling ball represents mechanical energy due to its motion.

Front

What powers the sun?

Back

The sun is powered by nuclear energy, produced through nuclear fusion in its core.
