Energy Flashcards
Kinetic Energy
The energy in moving objects. Also called movement energy.
GPE - Gravitational potential energy
Stored energy in raised objects
Chemical energy
Stored energy in fuel, foods and batteries
Thermal Energy.
Also called heat energy
Nuclear Energy
Stored in the nuclei of atoms
Sound Energy
Energy released by vibrating objects
Light Energy
Also called radiant energy
Electrical Energy
Energy in moving or static electric charges
Elastic Potential Energy
Stored energy in stretched or squashed objects
Magnetic
Energy in magnets and electromagnets
Work Done
Work done is a change in momentum and is measured in joules (j)
Equation for work done
Workdone (j) = force [newtons] x distance (m)
The total momentum in a explosion or collision stays the same. As a change in momentum happens when a force is applied.
Fact.
Work done is…
Work done is the total amount of energy put into an object by movement
