Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as an object at height or a compressed spring.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, depending on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, related to the motion of particles.

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 happens to energy during digestion?

Back

During digestion, chemical energy is released from food, which the body uses for various functions.
