Types of Energy Review

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 the particles in an object, which increases as the temperature rises.

Front

What is Radiant Energy?

Back

Radiant Energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. It includes visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, and is responsible for the transfer of energy through space.

Front

What is Nuclear Energy?

Back

Nuclear Energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. It can be released during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It can be gravitational, elastic, or chemical.

Front

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical Energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

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 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.

Front

What is an example of Thermal Energy in everyday life?

Back

An example of Thermal Energy is the heat produced by a stove when cooking food.

Front

What is an example of Radiant Energy?

Back

An example of Radiant Energy is sunlight, which provides light and warmth to the Earth.
