Energy Flashcards
Energy of motion . Depends on mass and speed
Kinetic energy
Stored energy due to an objects position or chemical composition
Potential energy
Energy that is stored in the chemical composition of matter ex. Banana , firewood , gas , battery
Chemical energy
When the center of the atom breaks apart or when the nuclei of 2 adams join together ex.the sun , nuclear power , power plants
Nuclear energy
The movement of electrons ex.mixer , oven , television
Electrical energy
Energy of the particles in matter heat energy ex.boiling water , heat from a fire
Thermal energy
The energy from the vibrations of particles in a solid liquid or gas
Sound energy
Light energy
Radiant energy
Energy that causes something to move ex. spinning turbines at the hoover dam , moving bicycle , rolling ball .
Mechanical energy
Energy can not be created or destroyed it is constantly changing forms
Law of conversion of energy
A transfer or change from one form of energy to another
Energy conversion
A stretched rubber band
Elastic potential energy
Compressed spring
