Energy Flashcards
Potential energy
stored form of energy
Energy conversion
When one form of energy is transformed into other forms of energy
Temperature
A measure of how fast the particles that make up a substance are moving
Work
A measure of the energy transfer when an object is moved over a distance
Chemical potential Energy
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms in molecules
Electrical Energy
Electrical Energy is generated by the movement of electrons
Gravitational Energy
Large objects such as the earth and the sun create gravitational energy
Heat Energy
It involves atoms, compounds and molecules moving and vibrating
Light Energy
Light is a type of radiant energy. Light is made up from tiny particles called photons
Kinetic Energy
Anything that moves has kinetic energy
Nuclear Energy
Huge amounts of nuclear energy can be generated by splitting atoms
Elastic potential Energy
This is the energy that is stored in stretchy or springy object.
Sound
The vibration of particles, energy is passed form one particle to the next
Gravitational potential energy
The energy stored in object above ground level
Potential Energy
Chemical energy, elastic energy, gravitational energy, Nuclear energy
