Energy Test Part 2- Energy Forms/Transforms

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 Radiant Energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet light. It is the energy that travels through space.

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 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 used to power devices and appliances.

Front

What is Nuclear Energy?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

Front

What is Energy Transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as chemical energy to mechanical energy.

Front

Example of Energy Transformation: Fire

Back

In a fire, chemical energy from fuel is transformed into radiant energy (light) and thermal energy (heat).

Front

Example of Energy Transformation: Biking

Back

When a person rides a bike, chemical energy from food is transformed into mechanical energy for movement.

Front

What type of energy is used when turning on a lamp?

Back

When you turn on a lamp, you use mechanical energy from your hand, which causes electrical energy to flow through the cord.
