Back

Energy transfer is the process of moving energy from one place to another or from one form to another.

Front

What are the different ways energy can be transferred?

Back

Energy can be transferred through conduction, convection, radiation, and mechanical means.

Front

What does kinetic energy mean?

Back

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

Front

What does potential energy mean?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of energy transfer through light?

Back

Light from the sun warming your skin is an example of energy transfer through light.

How does energy transfer occur in a swinging baseball bat?

Back

When a baseball bat swings, kinetic energy is transferred from the bat to the ball upon impact.

Front

What is the role of a turbine in energy transfer?

Back

A turbine converts wind energy into mechanical energy, which can then be converted into electricity.

Front

What is an example of energy being transferred through heat?

Back

Burning gas creates heat, which is an example of energy transfer through thermal energy.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

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