Energy Transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

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

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is the type of energy associated with the motion of an object.

Front

What type of energy is stored in an object due to its position?

Back

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

Front

Can energy be created?

Back

No, energy cannot be created; it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What type of energy does a microwave oven primarily transform electrical energy into?

Back

A microwave oven primarily transforms electrical energy into thermal energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a wind turbine?

Back

In a wind turbine, kinetic energy from the wind is transformed into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often felt as heat.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a battery?

Back

In a battery, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy when the battery is used.
