17.1 - Forms Of Energy Flashcards
Energy:
making something change or moveing something
Potenial Energy:
energy stored in something’s shape or location
ex. :mouse trap & spring
E + MC2 means:
Energy = Mass(matter) multiplied by extremly large #, squared
Conservation Law:
Matter can neither be created or destroyed (just move around)
Energy types: (6)
Mechanical, Kinetic, Electro Magnetic, Themal, Nuclear, Electrical
Electro Meagnetic Energy:
unseen waves with no need for atoms
Thermal Energy:
kinetic energy of atom (heat)
True/Fasle: Matches are a form of potenial energy consiting of thermal & electro megnetic energy
True
True/Fasle: Most are cars are highly efficent
False; 22% - 30%
Two types of Nuclear Energy:
Fussion & Fission
Nuclear Fission:
atomic nuclei spliting; 38% of PA energy
Nuclear Fusion
atomic nuclei combining
Elctrical Energy:
Flow of electrons
Sound energy:
reguires atoms to travel
True/Fasle: A radio gains electricity but loses some that becomes heat; most electricity becomes sound
True
