Chapter 3 Energy
What is the defintion of electromagnetic energy
Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies released into space by stars such as the Sun.
What is energy measured in?
Joules
What is the definition of mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.
What are the forms of energy?
Mechanical, Sound, Chemical, Thermal, Electromagnetic, Nuclear
whats another energy conversion
Nuclear
When you hear a bell ring, what is this type of energy?
Sound
What is the definition of sound energy
Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates.
What is the defintion of Nuclear energy
The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
This energy is the movement of the molecules from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures, such as when you put hot water in a coffee cup.
Thermal
What is the defintion of Thermal energy
Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object.
This type of energy is produced as we put gasoline in a car.
chemical
What energy is used in a fossil fuel plant
chemical thermal
what form of enegry is used in a nights sky
chemical/nuclear/light
energy cannot be create nor
destroyed
An outlet is what type of energy
electrical
Jumping rope and moving is an example of this type of energy.
electromagnetic
The ability to have different radio stations is due to what form of energy?
electromagnetic enegry
kinetic energy
energy of motion
what's one more energy conversion
fossil fuels
what is an unwanted energy
heat
what form of energy is used in a candle
heat/light/chemical
What is one energy conversion
hydroelectric
what form is energy is used in a bowling ball going down a lane
kinetic
energy cannot be created or destroyed
law of conservation of energy
This energy is the energy due to the position of an object or the movement of an object.
mechanical
what is one form of energy
mechanical
what energy is used in hydroelectic plant
mechanical eletrical
what form of energy is used in a Nuclear power plant
mechanical/Nuclear
This energy results from the vibration of particles in a solid, liquid or gas.
nuclear energy
what energy is used in a nuclear plant
nuclear mechanical
What is a concern of nuclear power plants
nuclear waste
what are the 3 power plants
nuclear, hydroelectric, fossil fuels
A chair on a shelf is an example of what
potential energy
When you hear thunder what type of energy is used
sound
what form of energy is used while playing the harp
sound
what is another form of energy
sound
whats another unwanted energy
sound
what turns the turbine in nuclear power plant
steam
potential energy
stored energy
what is one more form of energy
thermal
what turns the turbine in a hydroelectricity power plant
water
What is BTU
British Thermal Unit
This type of energy is produced as food you eat enters your body and breaks down.
Chemical
What is the definition of chemical energy
Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.
What are the 6 energys
Chemical, electromagnetic, Thermal, sound, mechanical and Nuclear.
