Energy Flashcards
Name the eight types of energy(clue, PECKLEST)
Potential Elastic Chemical Kinetic Light Electrical Sound Thermal
Give three examples of electrical energy
Circuit, fridge, Hoover
Give three examples of potential energy
Plane waiting to take off, tennis ball about to be thrown, diver waiting on board ready to dive
Give three examples of chemical energy
Battery, food, fuel
Give three examples of kinetic energy
Rocket moving, running, cycling
What does energy transformation mean
It means converting one type of energy into another.
What does a microphone convert sound energy into.
Electrical
What energy transformation happens with wind turbines
Kinetic into electrical
What is energy measured in
Joules
What is the rule of conservation of energy
Energy can’t be created or destroyed. Just converted from one from to another.
When is energy useful
When it is converted
Total energy=useful energy+?
Wasted energy
Are the energy transfer chain from the sun to wind power
Sun gives atmosphere heat energy, heat energy causes winds which is kinetic energy to move rotors, turbine converts into electrical energy
What is the main form of our energy
The sun
Name 7 types of renewable energy
Solar Wind Tidal Wave Biomass Hydroelectric Geothermal
