Energy Transformation Test

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting chemical energy in food to mechanical energy in our bodies.

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 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 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 (radiant) energy?

Back

Light (radiant) energy is the energy that travels in waves and can be seen by the human eye. It is produced by sources like the sun and light bulbs.

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 geothermal energy?

Back

Geothermal energy is the heat that comes from the Earth's interior. It can be used for heating and electricity generation.

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 top of a hill has gravitational 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 electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons. It powers our homes and devices.
