Energy Transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

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

What type of energy does a pendulum have at its highest point?

Back

At its highest point, a pendulum has maximum gravitational potential energy.

Front

Where does a pendulum have the most kinetic energy?

Back

A pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the center/middle of its swing.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy dependent on?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object.

Front

How is mechanical energy transferred to electrical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy using generators.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons.

Front

How is electrical energy transformed into mechanical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy in devices like motors.
