science energy transformation Flashcards
conservation of energy
energy cannot be destroyed or created, it can only transferrer
examples of mechanical KE
gravity,elasicity, flowing water, wind, arrows shot from bow, bouncing on a trampoline.
Mechanical PE
books sitting on a shelf, compressed spring, rubber band pulled back, almos like regular PE
Thermal energy KE
(heat energy) burner on a stove, hot cup of cocoa,fire
Radiant energy KE
(solar/light energy) movement of electromagnetic waves
sound energy KE
wave motions and vibrations, drums tuning fork, talking
electrical energy KE
moving electrons, electric current through a wire, lighting
electric energy PE
stored electrons, light bulb turned off, stove turned off, power outages, electrons in the clouds.
Chemical energy PE
