Types of Energy

What is mechanical energy?

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

• Mechanical energy is the energy stored in chemical bonds.

• Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion of particles.

• Mechanical energy is the energy due to the temperature of an object.

What type of energy is stored in an object due to its position or state?

• Kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Potential energy

• Chemical energy

How is energy transformed in a light bulb?

• Electrical energy is transformed into light and thermal energy.

• Chemical energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

• Nuclear energy is transformed into sound energy.

• Mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy.

What type of energy is associated with the motion of objects?

• Potential energy

• Kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

What is an example of potential energy?

• A rock held at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its position.

• A moving car has potential energy due to its speed.

• A stretched rubber band has potential energy due to its tension.

• A book lying on a table has potential energy due to its weight.

What is thermal energy?

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

• Thermal energy is the energy stored in chemical bonds.

• Thermal energy is the energy associated with the motion of electrons.

• Thermal energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions.

What is the relationship between energy and work?

• Work is done when energy is transferred from one system to another.

• Energy is created when work is done.

• Work and energy are unrelated concepts.

• Energy is a measure of the work done in a system.

How does energy conservation apply to energy types?

• Energy can be created and destroyed.

• Energy can only be transformed from one form to another.

• Energy can be created but not destroyed.

• Energy can be transformed into matter.

What are the main types of energy?
