Energy Transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting electrical energy into thermal energy.

Front

What type of energy is produced when electrical energy is transformed?

Back

Thermal energy.

Front

What is an example of chemical energy being transformed into mechanical energy?

Back

A person running.

Front

What energy transformation occurs when solar energy is used by plants?

Back

Solar/radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

What is eolic energy?

Back

Eolic energy, also known as wind energy, is the energy derived from the wind.

Front

What type of energy is produced when eolic energy is transformed?

Back

Electrical energy.

Front

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.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a hydroelectric power plant?

Back

In a hydroelectric power plant, potential energy of water is transformed into kinetic energy as it flows, which is then converted into electrical energy.

Front

What is the role of photosynthesis in energy transformation?

Back

Photosynthesis transforms solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

How does a battery transform energy?

Back

A battery transforms chemical energy into electrical energy when it is used to power a device.
