Transformation Of Energy Flashcards
Gravitational energy
Energy stored in an objects height
Meters x Gravity x KG = GPE
Chemical energy
Energy stored in chemical bonds
Elastic energy
Energy stored in stretched or compressed spring or rubber band
Nuclear energy
Energy stored in the particles inside an atomic nucleus
Kinetic energy
Energy forms that involve motion or are doing work
Motion energy
Energy of motion
1/2mv^2=KE
Heat energy
Energy from random motion of particles in a substance
Sound energy
Energy carried in movement of vibrations called sound waves
Electrical energy
The movement of electrical charges can do work
Light energy
Energy carries magenetic/electrical waves, called electromagnetic radiation
Potential energy
Energy forms that are stored
