Energy & Transformations Quiz

What is Energy?

• The transfer energy when a force is applied over a distance.
• The ability to cause change or the ability to do work.
• The energy of an object has because of its motion.

What is Work?

• The transfer energy when a force is applied over a distance.
• The ability to cause change or the ability to do work.
• The energy of an object has because of its motion.

What is Kinetic Energy?

• The transfer energy when a force is applied over a distance.
• The ability to cause change or the ability to do work.
• The energy of an object has because of its motion.

What is potential energy?

• The energy of an object has because of its motion.
• The energy that an electric current carries. When you plug something in, this energy flows.
• Energy that is stored and waiting to be used.

What is elastic potential energy?

• The energy that an electric current carries. When you plug something in, this energy flows.
• Energy carried in waves of vibrating matter. It cannot travel through empty space (it MUST have matter to travel)
• Energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched like springs or rubber bands.

What is electrical energy?

• The energy that an electric current carries. When you plug something in, this energy flows.
• Energy carried in waves of vibrating matter. It cannot travel through empty space (it MUST have matter to travel)
• Energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched like springs or rubber bands.

What is sound energy?

• The energy that an electric current carries. When you plug something in, this energy flows.
• Energy carried in waves of vibrating matter. It cannot travel through empty space (it MUST have matter to travel)
• Energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched like springs or rubber bands.

What is nuclear energy?

• Stored energy that is released when the nucleus of atoms are split apart or fused together.
• The energy formed due to an object's motion, position or condition. It is both kinetic and potential.
• The energy due to the movement of atoms or molecules that make up an object. This energy moves from warmer objects to colder objects.
• The energy from the sun carried by electromagnetic waves. It can move through empty space (no matter needed).

What is thermal energy?

• Stored energy that is released when the nucleus of atoms are split apart or fused together.
• The energy due to an object's motion, position or condition. It is both kinetic and potential.
• The energy due to the movement of atoms or molecules that make up an object. This energy moves from warmer objects to colder objects.
• The energy from the sun carried by electromagnetic waves. It can move through empty space (no matter needed).

What is mechanical energy?

• Stored energy that is released when the nucleus of atoms are split apart or fused together.
• The energy formed due to an object's motion, position or condition. It is both kinetic and potential.
• The energy due to the movement of atoms or molecules that make up an object. This energy moves from warmer objects to colder objects.
• The energy from the sun carried by electromagnetic waves. It can move through empty space (no matter needed).
