Science 2 Flashcards
Mechanical energy examples
Moving vehicles, machinery, balls and wind
Mechanical energy
The energy of moving objects or objects with moving parts
Thermal energy
Things are got because their atoms and molecules are vibrating
Thermal energy examples
Any object that has a temperature above -273* Celsius has thermal energy
Sound energy
Vibrating objects cause sound waves in the air which travels to the ear
Sound energy examples
Drums, speakers, voices
Gravitational potential energy
A raised object has the ability to to fall and cause damage
Examples of gravitational potential energy
Water in a dam, anything held off the ground
Elastic potential energy
A stretched or squashed object will move and exert a force as it returns to its natural shape
Example of elastic potential energy
Bent branch, spring, squashed pillow
Chemical potential energy
The chemical that make things give out light or heat under certain conditions
Example of chemical potential energy
Gas for cooking, paper, food, dynamite
Electrical energy
The energy that electrons have when they are forced to move by an electric charge
Example of electrical energy
Electricity from a battery, generator, lightning
Light energy
Any form of electromagnetic radiation given off by light, laser, star, etc
Example of light energy
Light from the sun, UV radiation, microwaves, x-ray
Eletrical to kinetic energy
Food mixer
Light energy to electrical energy
Solar panels
