18
Q

Mechanical energy is the energy of?

A

Motion and Position

19
Q

An objects mechanical energy can be all ___, all _____, or a combination of both

20
Q

What is Sound energy?

A

Sound energy is kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium such as steel, water, or air.

21
Q

As the particles vibrate, they transfer the sound energy to other ___________.

22
Q

Why do we hear sound?

A

Bcuz of special structures in our ears detect the vibrations of the particles in the air.

23
Q

How is electromagnetic energy transmitted?

A

Thru space in the form of electromagnetic waves

24
Q

What causes electromagnetic waves?

A

By the vibrations of electrically charged particles

25
Give me examples of electromagnetic waves
Visible light, x-rays, and microwaves
26
What does electrical energy result from?
The position or motion of the charged particles.
27
The electricity that powers the lights overhead, is associated with?

29
The amount of chemical energy in a molecule depends on ………………………………………
The kinds of atoms and their arrangements
30
What are some sources of chemical energy?
Foods we eat, batteries, matches
31
What is TE?
The KE of the particles in an object
32
Particles move _____ at a higher temperature than at lower temperatures
Faster
33
The _______ the molecules in an object move, the more ________________________ the object has.
Faster; TE
34
The more particles an object has the more ____________________ it has.
TE
35
What is the source of nuclear energy?
The nucleus of an atom
36
When does energy transformation take place?
When energy changes from one from to another
37
Can all energy only change into one type of energy?
No; Any form of energy can change into any other form of energy
38
What is a closed system?
A group of objects that transfers energy only to one another
39
What does the law of conservation of energy state?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only change forms
