The reason why that these vibrations are important is because Sound energy is created due to vibrations. Whenever something vibrates sound energy is formed. An example of this is whenever a car is blaring music it is not only heard but it can be felt by the passengers. The fact that the vibrations are able to be felt by the passengers shows and proves that sound energy can pass through matter. ]]> 2023-02-08 18:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2473888477 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475419191 Thermal energy is the energy normally associated with heat. All matter is made up of atoms, and atoms are constantly vibrating. The speed in which the atoms vibrate is the way in which their thermal energy is measured. The slower the atom is moving the less amount of thermal energy that atom possess. Due to this the faster an atom is moving the higher the amount of thermal energy that atom possess, which increases the temperature we perceive the object to be at. Thermal energy is everywhere, you see feel it outside or may see it when cooking. You can feel how cold or hot something is, and you can see steam, which is just atoms moving fast to create a gas. No matter, thermal energy is everywhere around you all the time.
Examples of this are:
- When ice melts

Due to the fact that this energy is used between the bonds of atoms, it helps keep the atoms bonded together. Whenever we digest our food, we're breaking up the bonds of the atoms, which in return realize the chemical energy stored inside. This is also similar in the case of other things like fuel, when fuel is burned, chemical energy is released generating power to things like car.]]> 2023-02-09 18:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475419523 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475419862 Mechanical Energy is the energy that has motion because of the motion of an object. It is used to move, lift, hold, or have any physical movement with an object. Mechanical energy is just the ability of moving things. Due to mechanical energy, we are able to move, without it we would always be stationary and couldn't do anything. 
Examples are:
- Whenever you hit a punching bag]]> 2023-02-09 18:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475419862 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475420708 Electrical energy is what is used to power various things in day-to-day life. Electrical energy is carried around by charged particles, which in turn can build up on various objects. You might see this when you touch somebody and it shocks them. This comes with the ability to transform, transfer and move. Electrical energy moves around and transfers from device to device, with this comes the ability to transform as well. Electrical energy is used to power things that light up or heat things up, this means that electrical power is transformed into other forms of energy's and gets moved around a lot. 
Example are:
- The way that phone batteries charge
- Batteries giving energy to things]]> 2023-02-09 18:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475420708 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475426782 Light/Radiant energy is carried by light particles. When this energy is referred to it is normally referring to the light visible by humans.  Light energy however is more than just the light visible to the human eye, there is the entire electromagnetic spectrum that has light that humans cannot see. All types of light from the electromagnetic spectrum of some form of radiation with it. Light energy is normally used to brighten up rooms or areas where visible light is low. Most of our light particles that we receive are from the sun. An example of this might be solar panels that you use, or even just being outside. No matter which it is the sun is still providing you with energy whether electrical or giving you vitamins.
Examples are:
- The energy that makes solar panels get energy
- The energy that helps ]]> 2023-02-09 18:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2475426782 7822401 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2483889491 The law of conservation of energy means that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed or transferred. Energy may appear to be gone but it isn't. It's because the energy is changed into another type of energy. An example of this is whenever you dribble a basketball the ball gets bounced it doesn't go up as high as it should. But some of the energy was changed into sound energy that we hear the ball hit the floor.]]> 2023-02-15 18:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2483889491 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2485381071 Energy can be simplified to just the ability to do work. However, work is applying some form of force to be able to move or change something. This means that anything that has energy has the ability to work/ apply force and move or change something. Not only this but energy can interact with different things which may cause those things to move or even change. ]]> 2023-02-16 18:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2485381071 7822401 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2492951880 Energy transfer is whenever energy moves, whether it's from one location to another or from one object to another. This may sound similar to energy transformation, but the form of energy doesn't change, it moves.
Some examples are:
- When electricity goes through power lines
- Whenever a cue ball is hit it transfers mechanical energy
- When you heat a pot of water thermal energy transfers into the water]]> 2023-02-23 18:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2492951880 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2492958782 The law of conservation of Energy says that energy cannot be created or destroys but it changes from one form into another, and energy transformation is that process of one energy form to another. Energy transforms all the time, whenever you bounce a ball that's mechanical energy transformed into sound when you hear the sound it makes. ]]> 2023-02-23 18:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2492958782 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2498344577 During our phet lab, we learned and saw how energy flows through a system. This shows the energy actively flowing through the system when the girl starts pedaling which converts her chemical to mechanical, then intro electrical, then into thermal, then into light. You see that energy changes through out the system as it continues. This is due to the fact that energy can transformer into other forms of energy. ]]> 2023-02-28 17:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2498344577 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503007389 Can energy be destroyed or created? The answer to this is no, according to the law of conservation of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed however it can change forms. This means that in accordance with the law, the answer to these questions would be no, because you cannot break.]]> 2023-03-03 18:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503007389 1131193 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503013449 Can energy change? Yes, energies can change forms from one into another! This is due to the Law of Conservation of energy which then allows energy not to be created or destroyed but instead allow it to change forms. An example of this may be somebody talking, this is because you use chemical energy which then is converted into sound when you speak. ]]> 2023-03-03 18:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503013449 7822401 https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503017794 Yes, an object can transfer more than one type of energy. This can be shown in many ways such as when Thermal energy is transferred from a stove into a pot of water. Mechanical energy can be transferred as well such as when you bounce a ball it gets the mechanical energy and is able to bounce.]]> 2023-03-03 19:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/7822401/4628a4yhf7rpiho8/wish/2503017794
