What is energy transformation (conversion)?

Back

Energy transformation (conversion) is the process of energy changing from one form to another.

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where energy travels in the same direction (parallel) as the vibrations of the medium particles.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy; energy due to position.

Front

What is elastic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is the energy stored in objects by force, such as in a stretched rubber band or balloon.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances, such as food, natural gas, batteries, petroleum, biomass, and propane.

Front

What are the different forms of energy?

Back

Different forms of energy include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, and nuclear energy.

Front

How does kinetic energy differ from potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in everyday life?

Back

An example of energy transformation is a toaster converting electrical energy into thermal energy to toast bread.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and work?

Back

Work is done when energy is transferred from one system to another, and it is calculated as the force applied over a distance.
