Energy Transfer And Transformation Flashcards
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
What happens when a rolling ball hits another ball at rest?
The ball at rest will start rolling, gaining kinetic energy.
What is energy transfer?
Energy transfer occurs when energy passes from one object to another during a collision.
What type of energy is transferred when two balls collide?
Kinetic energy is transferred from one ball to the other.
What happens when two balls collide in terms of sound?
A noise is produced, indicating that sound energy has been generated.
What is energy transformation?
Energy transformation is the change of one form of energy into another.
Can any form of energy turn into another form?
Yes, any form of energy can transform into another form.
How does riding a bicycle involve energy transformation?
Riding a bicycle transforms chemical energy from the body into mechanical energy for pedaling.
Example: Chemical energy from muscles is converted to mechanical energy in bike pedals.
What energy transformation occurs in cars and buses?
Chemical energy from fuel or a battery is transformed into thermal and mechanical energy to power the engine.
Example: Fuel or battery chemical energy is converted to thermal and mechanical energy.
