What is the definition of gravitational energy?
Gravitational energy is not a type of energy.
Gravitational energy creates heat to warm up the surface of the Earth.
Gravitational energy is the energy an object has because of its position above a surface.
Gravitational energy is the energy an object does not have because of its position below the surface.
What is the definition of light energy?
Light energy is the energy that is visible to the human eye.
What is the definition of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the centre of the particles that make up matter.
What is the definition of potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy of motion. It is being used the whole time.
Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position or condition. It has not been used yet.
What is the definition of thermal energy?
Thermal energy looks like a thermos full of soup.
Thermal is another term for heat energy.
Thermal is another term for cold energy.
What is the definition of elastic energy?
Elastic energy is the energy caused by the stretching or pushing together of some materials.
Elastic energy is the energy caused by the squishing or snapping together of some materials.
Elastics are not forms of energy, they are only used to make a ponytail.
What is the definition of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy of not moving. When an object is not moving, it has kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is a game you play where you join different pieces together.
Kinetic energy is the energy that has potential. When an object creates heat it has kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. When an object is moving, it has kinetic energy.
What is the definition of electrical energy?
Electrical energy only works the best to create darkness.
Electrical energy is the energy of charged particles.
Electrical energy is the energy of only charged batteries.
Electrical energy has the same definition as chemical energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy (kinetic energy or potential energy) is the energy of either an object in motion or the energy that is stored in objects by their position.
Mechanical energy is a machine.
Mechanical energy (kinetic or thermal energy) is the energy of an object in motion or stored by their position.
Mechanical energy is the energy that can be streched or pulled.
What is sound energy?
Sound energy is the same a light energy.
Sound energy is the energy that happens when objects do not vibrate. Objects that do not vibrate make lower and higher sounds.
Sound energy is the energy that happens when objects vibrate. Objects that vibrate slowly have lower sounds, and objects that vibrate faster have higher sounds.
Sound energy is about vibrations, but only in musical instruments.
What is chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the energy stored in atoms and is released when matter is put under pressure.
Chemical energy is another word for heat energy.
Chemical energy is the energy stored in matter and released when matter undergoes a chemical reaction.
Chemical energy is the same as nuclear energy.
