Energy week 1

The ability to do work

• energy
• chemical energy
• thermal energy
• nuclear energy

Energy of moving particles or atoms that make up all matter; heated substances have more thermal energy than cooled substances.

• nuclear energy
• chemical energy
• thermal energy
• electrical energy

Energy stored in atomic bonds that form molecules, release when chemical reactions occur and rearrange those atoms by breaking the bonds

• mechanical energy
• chemical energy
• thermal energy
• electrical energy

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, released when protons or neutrons are added to or removed from the nucleus.

• renewable energy
• nuclear energy
• thermal energy
• chemical energy

Energy derived from sources that are continually replenished (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydropower)

• chemical energy
• non-renewable energy
• mechanical energy
• renewable energy

One form of energy changes to another; allows energy to be used in different ways (chemical energy in a battery transforms into electric energy in many battery powered appliances.)

• thermal energy
• electrical energy
• energy transformation
• energy

Resources consumed by humans much faster than nature can produce (ex. oil, natural gas)

• renewable energy
• non-renewable energy
• chemical energy
• mechanical energy

Energy that travels as waves (ex. microwaves, radio waves; energy from the sun)

• mechanical energy
• thermal energy
• electrical energy
• electromagnetic energy

Energy of moving objects, such as a rolling ball or even wind and currents.

• chemical energy
• mechanical energy
• thermal energy
• electrical energy

Energy of electric charges moving through conductors; powers devices used in daily life.
