Kimds Og Kinetic Enrgy Flashcards
The amount of kinetic energy an object depends on its ——— and its ———
mass
velocity
Forms of energy under kinetic energy:
Electrical energy
Radiant energy
Thermal energy
Motion/Mechanical energy
Sound energy
is the movement of electrons.
Electrical energy
Everything is made of tiny particles called.
atoms
Examples of electrical energy:
Lightning
is ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY that travels in transverse waves.
RADIANT ENERGY
It includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves.
Radiant energy
Example of radiant energy
Solar energy
which is often described as heat, internal energy in substances-the vibration and movement of atoms and molecules within substances.
Thermal energy
The faster molecules and atoms vibrate and move within a substance, the more energy they possess and the hotter they become.
Thermal energy
The more energy possess, the —— they become.
Hotter
Example of thermal energy
Geothermal energy
is the movement of objects and substances from one place to another.
Motion energy or MECHANICAL ENERGY
is the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Sound energy
It is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate.
Sound energy
The energy in a wave is transferred through the substance in a wave.
Sound energy
The ——— the mass or velocity of a moving object, the —— kinetic energy it has.

•What will happen to the KE of an obiect if its mass is doubled but the velocity remains the same?
The KE will be doubled.
The —— the object moves;
the —— kinetic energy is produced.
faster

The —— the mass and speed of an object, the —- kinetic energy there will be.
