energy Flashcards
what different ways can energy be stored?
kinetic energy, internal energy, elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, electrical energy, magnetic energy.
What is Kinetic energy?
Moving things have kinetic energy. extra info on Kinetic energy: The more mass a thing has and the faster it moves, the more kinetic energy it has. All moving things have kinetic energy, even very large things like planets, and very small ones like atoms.
What is internal energy?
energy caused by the movement of particles in the object, sometimes called thermal energy and energy due to the bonds between particles, sometimes called chemical energy
What is elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential is stored in squished balls.
what is Gravitational potential energy?
the mass of the object
the extra height it gains
the gravitational field strength
what is electrical energy?
You get an electric current when charged particles move through a wire.
what is magnetic energy?
You get an electric current when charged particles move through a wire.
