What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

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

What type of energy does a nuclear bomb convert?

Back

A nuclear bomb converts nuclear energy into kinetic, sound, light, and thermal energy.

Front

What type of potential energy is demonstrated when a rubber band is stretched?

Back

When a rubber band is stretched, it demonstrates elastic potential energy.

Front

What type of energy does a battery charger convert from electrical to?

Back

A battery charger converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Front

What converts chemical energy into kinetic energy?

Back

A car converts chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Front

Define 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 elastic potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

Front

Give an example of energy transformation in a light bulb.

Back

In a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and thermal energy.

Front

What is the difference between chemical energy and nuclear energy?

Back

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, while nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of atoms.
