What is energy conversion?

Back

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

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like fuels.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often felt as heat.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Front

What are nonrenewable resources?

Back

Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime, such as fossil fuels.

Front

What are renewable resources?

Back

Renewable resources are resources that can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar energy and wind energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What are neap tides?

Back

Neap tides are the tides that occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon are perpendicular, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.

Front

What is the role of gravity in energy conversion?

Back

Gravity plays a crucial role in energy conversion by influencing the potential energy of objects based on their height.
