Energy Transformations Review

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from chemical energy to light energy.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye and is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a person sitting on a horse.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, such as a galloping horse.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is produced by vibrations and travels through a medium, such as air or water, but does not travel through empty space.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object, related to its temperature.

Front

What happens in a glow stick when shaken?

Back

When a glow stick is shaken, a chemical reaction occurs that transforms chemical energy into light energy.
