Types of Energy by Fjeldsted, Parker

Energy

Energy is anything that has the ability to do work. Nothing moves without energy. Energy Has many uses for example many people know what electric energy is electric energy can have many uses including running electric cars, fans, lights and many more. We use these energy's in are daily life to be comfortable and make things easier to do.

Work

155947_1 — 2024-02-09 18:52:07 UTC

Anything that has the ability to move or change something. Or apply force.

Potential Energy

155947_1 — 2024-02-09 19:37:18 UTC

Potential energy is energy that is stored or not being used. Height and mass affect an object's potential energy. Potential energy isn't just unwanted energy that you do not ever use can still be converted to kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is in motion. Height and velocity affect an object's kinetic energy. Since Kinetic energy is in motion we use it a lot. Some examples of kinetic energy are biking running, cars moving, and planes. These are just some of the types of kinetic energy we use.

Mechanical Energy

Mechanical energy is energy that has motion. It is used to move matter. examples of mechanical energy are typing on a keyboard, hammering a nail, sharpening a pencil. those are some examples of mechanical energy in motion.

Radiant (Light) Energy

Radiant energy is carried by light. It refers to visible light. Infrared, UV rays, radio waves, and x-rays are also examples of radiant energy. Light energy can also be uses to light up a room or to use while doing homework.

Electrical Energy

Electrical energy is energy from charged particles or electrons. It moves along a circuit to be transferred into another type of energy. Without electrical energy the world would not be like it is today with no electric lighting or electricity with the only type of light being the suns blaze.

Law of Conservation of Energy

155947_1 — 2024-02-12 22:45:34 UTC

The law of conservation of energy states that no energy can be created or destroyed. This law cannot be broken. For example when you ride a bike your body uses chemical energy to move the pedals causing mechanical energy showing that no energy is lost.

Sound Energy

155947_1 — 2024-02-12 22:56:35 UTC

Sound energy is carried by soundwaves and can travel through matter. Sound energy is created when something vibrates. A human's vocal cords vibrate a specific way to make certain sound.

Thermal Energy

155947_1 — 2024-02-12 22:59:35 UTC

Thermal energy is what determines temperature. The more thermal energy in a substance the hotter the substance is. The less thermal energy in a substance the colder it is.

Chemical Energy

155947_1 — 2024-02-12 23:14:07 UTC

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of atoms. When the bonds break they release chemical energy. For example, when you eat a slice of pizza your body digests the food and breaks those bonds to give your body energy.

Energy Transfer

Energy Transfer is when one object moves to another it can also move by location. Energy transfer involves the movement of the same energy. For example when a pool stick hits the cue the mechanical energy has been transferred from the pool stick to the cue ball to the 8 ball which is called energy transfer.

Energy Transformation

155947_1 — 2024-02-13 23:01:53 UTC

Even though energy cannot be created or destroyed energy can change from one type to another. Energy transformations is when energy changes from one type to another.

Can Energy Be Created Or Destroyed?

155947_1 — 2024-02-13 23:14:59 UTC

No, energy cannot be created or destroyed. The Law of Conservation of Energy backs up this statement. People may think that energy disappears because they do not know that energy can transform to be used a different day.

Can Energy Change?

391978 — 2024-02-13 23:15:01 UTC

Yes, energy can change because energy transfer changes energy. For example power lines are all over the world and electricity travels from one line to the other until it reaches the destination. That is an example of energy changing from one line to the other from a power line.

How Does Energy Flow In a System?

391978 — 2024-02-13 23:23:03 UTC

Energy flows through a system by transferring from one object to another and transforming into different types of energy. For example imagine your running a marathon and your body gets hot and sweaty and the sweat cools you down so your body does not overheat. Energy will flow through your body to cool you down.

Can An Object Transfer More Than One Type Of Energy?

155947_1 — 2024-02-13 23:23:27 UTC

Yes, an object can can transfer more than one type of energy. For example, hot water coming out of a faucet is transferring thermal energy and mechanical energy. The water flowing is mechanical and the heat coming off the water is thermal.
