Forms of Energy and Energy Transformation

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting chemical energy in a battery to electrical energy.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

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

Front

What type of energy is stored in a battery?

Back

Chemical energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a light bulb?

Back

Chemical energy (from electricity) is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light energy.

Front

What type of energy does a windmill convert?

Back

A windmill converts mechanical energy (from wind) into electrical energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object, such as a moving car.

Front

What is elastic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched, like a rubber band.

Front

What is gravitational energy?

Back

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