What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, a compressed spring or an object held at a height has potential energy.

What is Biomass?

Back

Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, which can be used as a source of energy.

Front

What happens when Biomass is burned?

Back

The chemical energy contained in biomass is converted into thermal energy.

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 type of energy does a television convert?

Back

A television converts electrical energy into light and sound energies.

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 the relationship between height and potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is positioned, the more potential energy it has due to gravity.
