Review Law of Conservation of Energy

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.

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is gravitational energy?

Back

Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy that depends on an object's height and mass.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is a form of kinetic energy that is produced by vibrating objects and travels through a medium.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to temperature.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons.

Front

What is stored mechanical energy?

Back

Stored mechanical energy is the potential energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched.

How does energy transform in a roller coaster?

Back

As a roller coaster climbs, kinetic energy is converted to potential energy; as it descends, potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy.
