Types of Energy

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy comes from the movement of electrons from one object to another.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as potential energy decreases?

Back

As potential energy decreases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the charge of particles that flow in electrical energy?

Back

Negative electrons.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a traveling light wave.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is a form of energy that is produced by vibrating molecules and is transmitted through a medium such as air, water, or solids.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in a pendulum?

Back

In a pendulum, as potential energy increases, kinetic energy decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.
