What type of energy is associated with the temperature of an object?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more thermal energy it has.

Front

What is 'stored energy' also known as?

Back

Stored energy is also known as potential energy. It is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects.

Front

What is the term for 'energy of motion'?

Back

The term for 'energy of motion' is kinetic energy. It is the energy that an object possesses due to its movement.

Front

Which form of energy does NOT originate from the sun?

Back

Sound energy does not come from the sun. It is produced by vibrating objects and travels through air or other mediums.

Front

What type of energy does a TV NOT emit?
