Energy Flashcards
Name the 5 types of energy
- Thermal
- Kinetic
- Chemical
- Magnetic
- Gravitational potential
What is thermal energy
Heat energy due to the kinetic energy of particles in a system
Give an example of thermal energy
A fire
What is kinetic energy
Moving particles and objects have kinetic energy. The faster the velocity = more kinetic energy
Give an example of kinetic energy
A car has lots of kinetic energy when moving
What is chemical energy
Stored energy in a system
Give an example of chemical energy
Batteries have stored chemical energy
What is magnetic energy
Energy due to attraction between two magnetic objects
Give an example of magnetic energy
positive and negative poles of magnets attract
What is gravitational potential energy
Energy due to height. The higher an object is = the more gravitational potential energy it has
Give an example of gravitational potential energy
A parachutist
