Kinetic Energy The energy of motion Ex. Riding a bike, frog leaping Leaping Frog
Energy stored in chemical bonds- potential energy Energy released when burned Ex. Coal, oil, propane, food, matches, and batteries Coal
Energy stored within the nucleus of the atom- potential energy Released by joining nuclei (fusion) or splitting nuclei (fission) Ex. Sun (join), nuclear plant (split) Sun
Moving electric charges (electrons) produce electricity- kinetic energy Ex. Runs computers, radios, and light bulbs
Motion of particles within atoms that make up matter Moves in waves- Kinetic Energy Ex. Microwaves, UV Radiation, visible light, gamma rays, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared Brain X-Ray
The total energy of the particles in an object Ex. Oven, body heat, and regular heat Body Heat
The energy of the vibration of molecules Travels in Longitudinal Waves Ex. The bass in music, and humming Sound Waves On Water
Any form of energy can be converted into another form of energy
Riding a bicycle Changes: Chemical Energy Mechanical Energy
Speakers Changes: Electrical Energy Sound Energy
The Sun Changes: Nuclear Energy Thermal Energy
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another.
