🏆 #6 Forms of Energy & Transformations Flashcardizz Review

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 or absorbed 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 commonly used to power devices and appliances.

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.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the edge of a cliff has potential energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground. It depends on the object's mass and height.

Front

What is Energy Transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another. For example, in a flashlight, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy and then into light energy.

Front

What happens to energy in a battery-powered flashlight?

Back

In a battery-powered flashlight, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light energy.

Front

What factors affect Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

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