Energy, Transformations 23

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

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

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye and is produced by the vibration of electrically charged particles.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on the mass and speed of the object.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as an object at height or a compressed spring.

Front

What happens during photosynthesis?

Back

During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

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 connected to a circuit.

Front

What type of energy transformation occurs in a flashlight?

Back

In a flashlight, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into radiant energy (light).

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational energy?

Back

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