What is Energy Transformation?

Back

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

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food or fuel.

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 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 in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does a mouse produce body heat?

Back

A mouse produces body heat through the transformation of chemical energy from food into thermal energy.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy when an object is lifted?

Back

When an object is lifted, its kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between Electrical Energy and Thermal Energy?

Back

Electrical energy can be transformed into thermal energy, as seen in devices like toasters.

Front

What is an example of Energy Transformation in a pencil sharpener?

Back

In a pencil sharpener, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy (to turn the blades) and then into sound energy.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
