What is Energy Transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from mechanical energy to electrical energy.

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

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

Front

What is Electrical Energy?

Back

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

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules, which can be released during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Light Energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and is produced by sources like the sun and light bulbs.

Front

What does the Conservation of Energy state?

Back

The Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms.

Front

What energy transformation occurs in a burning candle?

Back

In a burning candle, chemical energy is transformed into light energy.

Front

What energy transformation occurs when you turn a hand generator?

Back

Turning a hand generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can then be converted to light energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a flashlight?

Back

In a flashlight, chemical energy from the batteries is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light 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.
