What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the form of energy that is produced by vibrating objects and is transmitted through waves in a medium such as air, water, or solids.

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion, which depends on the mass and velocity of the object.

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, which can be converted into kinetic energy.

What is elastic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is a form of potential energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

Front

How is sound energy produced?

Back

Sound energy is produced by the vibration of objects, which creates pressure waves in a medium that can be heard by the human ear.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly related to the motion of an object; the faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

What are the different forms of energy?

Back

The different forms of energy include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, sound energy, and nuclear energy.

Front

How does energy transformation occur?

Back

Energy transformation occurs when energy changes from one form to another, such as potential energy converting to kinetic energy when an object falls.

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
