Amplify- Harnessing Human Energy

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has potential energy because of its height.

What is nuclear power?

Back

Nuclear power is the energy harnessed from the decay of uranium atoms, which is used to generate electricity.

What happens to energy when it changes types?

Back

Energy converts from one form to another, such as kinetic energy converting to potential energy or light energy.

Front

What is energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the process of energy moving from one object to another, such as when heat moves from a hot object to a cooler one.

Front

What is a generator?

Back

A generator is a device that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, allowing us to use energy for various applications.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

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

Front

What is biomass energy?

Back

Biomass energy is energy produced from organic materials, such as plants and animal waste, which can be used for fuel.

Front

What is hydropower?

Back

Hydropower is energy generated from the movement of water, typically using dams to harness the energy of flowing water.

Front

What is wind energy?

Back

Wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind using turbines to convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.
