What is energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the process of moving energy from one place or object to another. It can occur in various forms, such as heat, light, or motion.

Front

What are the three main types of energy?

Back

The three main types of energy are potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

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

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It 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. It is used to power devices and appliances.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

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

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.

How does energy transfer occur in a wind-up toy?

Back

In a wind-up toy, mechanical energy is stored in the spring when wound up. When released, this mechanical energy is transformed into kinetic energy, making the toy move.

What is an example of energy conversion in an automobile?

Back

In an automobile, chemical energy from gasoline is converted into mechanical energy to move the car.

What type of energy does a fire produce?

Back

A fire produces thermal energy (heat), light energy, and sound energy, but it does not produce electrical energy.
