What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical.

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 potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position or state. For example, a book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy of moving electrons. It powers devices like lights and computers.

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. It is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car is an example of kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A compressed spring is an example of potential energy.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
