1. Study Guide
Types of Energy

2. Energy is the ability to cause change.
2. Define radiant energy. The energy carried by electromagnetic waves.
What is the sequence of energy transformation when you cook something in a microwave.
electrical radiant thermal
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What are renewable resources? Include examples of renewable resources. Renewable energy resources are energy resources that are replaced as fast, or faster than, it is used. Examples: solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass

3. 6. What are nonrenewable resources
6. What are nonrenewable resources? Include examples of nonrenewable resources. Nonrenewable energy resources are available in limited amounts, or that are used faster than they can be replaced. Examples: fossil fuels, natural gas, coal, petroleum, uranium
7. Thermal energy is always generated, at least in small
amounts, when an energy transfer or transformation
occurs.
8. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is in motion.
9. Define chemical energy. Energy that is stored in and
released from the bonds between atoms.
10. Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can
be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot
be created or destroyed.

4. 11. What type of energy must be transformed into electrical
energy when biomass is used as an energy resource?
chemical energy
During photosynthesis, radiant energy is transformed into
chemical energy.
Gravitational potential energy depends on two factors-
the mass of an object and its distance from Earth’s
surface. The more mass an object has and the greater
its distance from Earth, the greater its gravitational
potential energy.
14. Define work. The transfer of energy that occurs when a
force makes an object move in the direction of the force.

5. A group of atoms where the magnetic fields of the atoms
point in the same direction is called a magnetic domain.
The place on a magnet where the magnet exerts the
strongest magnetic force is the magnetic poles.
This energy transformation takes place when fossil fuels
are burned to provide power for things like televisions
and computers. chemical electrical
The formula for work is W = F * d. What are the units
of measure for each variable?
joules newtons meters

6. Define electromagnet. A temporary magnet made with a
current carrying wire coil wrapped around a magnetic
core.
An object that attracts iron and other materials that have
magnetic qualities similar to iron is called a magnet.
All of the energy that we use can be traced back to the
sun.
Magnetic material is any material that a magnet attracts.
23. Magnetic force is a push or pull a magnetic field applies
to either a magnetic material or an electric current.

7. If two magnetic south poles or two magnetic north poles
are close to each other, the magnets repel, or push away
from each other. If a magnet’s magnetic north pole is
near another magnet’s south pole, the magnets attract
each other, come close together.
A closed system is a system that does not exchange
matter or energy with the environment.
26. Stored energy that depends on the interaction of objects,
particles, or atoms is called potential energy.
An opened system is a system that exchanges matter or energy with the environment.
Define electric energy. A form of kinetic energy that an electric current carries.

8. W = F * d Be able to solve problems for work using the formula
Energy transferred by waves moving through the ground
is called seismic energy.
This occurs when energy moves from one object to
another without changing form. energy transfer
31. Nuclear energy is energy stored in and released from the
nucleus of an atom.
Energy transformation occurs when one form of energy
is converted to another form of energy.
Be able to solve problems for work using the formula
W = F * d
