Charged particles can build up an object and electricity moves on a path known as a circuit.]]> 2023-02-02 18:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2466552944 1553153 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2466568711 Thermal energy relates to and works with different kinds of temperatures, (mostly heat). Atoms are particles which can be found in the substance. Atoms never stop moving so, the more the atoms move around and vibrate, the hotter the substance is. This also means that if this substance is hotter means there is more thermal energy, such as in fire or when cooking.

Light usually refers to visible light, although all electromagnetic radiation has energy. Other types of electromagnetic energy besides visible light are infrared or IR, radio waves, ultraviolet or UV, and X-Rays.]]> 2023-02-02 18:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2466568725 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2467047135 Sound energy is energy created by vibration. Similar to electrical energy traveling along a circuit, sound energy travels along soundwaves. These waves travel through all states of matter like solid, liquid, and gas. The energy is made when an object vibrates (or has force and pressure). These movements make sounds, which are created by this energy. There are numerous examples of sound energy being heard, from a popping balloon to a buzzing bee.]]> 2023-02-03 03:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2467047135 2733104 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2473887252 Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds between atoms. Chemical reactions break the bonds and the energy is released. The bonds between atoms in food and fossil fuels store large amounts of chemical energy. Eating and digesting food breaks the bonds and the energy is released into us, serving as our energy source.]]> 2023-02-08 18:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2473887252 1553153 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2476791868 When an object is in motion or in a position, this is an energy called mechanical energy. This energy is used to move or lift objects. An example could be when biking, the bike and the wheels are creating mechanical energy because its moving. Mechanical energy can also be found when a windmill starts spinning and creates air.]]> 2023-02-10 18:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2476791868 2733104 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2485381527 Energy transfer is when energy goes from one source to another, such as energy transferring from an outlet to a T.V. When energy transfer occurs, the Law of Conservation of Energy must be upheld, so no new energy can be created, and no energy can be destroyed.]]> 2023-02-16 18:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2485381527 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2485399175 mostly like law of conservation of mass, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. but it can be made into a new form. When is transformed or transferred, the total amount of energy inside isn't wasted, so what happened to the energy? it becomes conserved. this system includes when things like a object can be studied on. like battery's ]]> 2023-02-16 18:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2485399175 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2490343504 Energy is simply the ability to do work.  Any object that holds energy (TVs, radios, lamps, boats, hair dryers, Etc.) can be able to show work.  energy that works means when you use force and motion. That means that anything with energy needs force. The energy causes an object to have movement or change how it appears. it can be used as well for maintaining, processing, or conducting any form of a objects]]> 2023-02-21 22:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2490343504 2733104 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492947088 Energy transformation is when energy is converted from one type to another. When the transformation occurs, the Law of Conservation of Energy must be upheld, meaning none of the energy can be lost and none can be created. Examples would be solar panels capturing the sun's radiant energy and converting it into electricity, or windmills converting wind's mechanical energy and converting it into electricity.]]> 2023-02-23 18:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492947088 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492958891 can energy be changed? yes, only in a new form. Energy is the ability to do work. according to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created not destroyed, but can take a new form. energy transformation is when energy has the ability to be wone type of energy to another.  although there is also transfer energy, which is energy that can move to one location to another, this doesn't apply to this since it stays the same energy. therefore, energy can change. ]]> 2023-02-23 18:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492958891 2733104 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492958911 A: Similar to mass, there is a law in place known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed]]> 2023-02-23 18:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2492958911 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2494958130 Yes, a object can transfer more than one type of energy.  for example, if you take the sun, which provides radiant and almost every other energy on the earth . like thermal energy which carries heat. and chemical which can help make phot thesis. another example could be a campfire. a campfire hold wood fire and heat to make it work. it can have kinetic energy since it can be in motion. as well as radiant energy from the light of the fire. and of course the main energy, thermal. ]]> 2023-02-25 20:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2494958130 2733104 https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2501462176 A: Energy flows through a system starting with the sun's radiant energy, which is captured by plants and solar panels. The plant uses it to produce glucose, creating chemical energy, and the solar panels convert it to electricity. In this example from a PhET Lab, the girl is using her chemical energy, which came either directly or indirectly from plants(she either ate a plant or an animal that ate a plant), to pedal a bike, producing mechanical energy, and as waste energy, thermal energy. The bike wheels are connected to a generator, which takes the mechanical energy from the spinning wheels and converts it to electrical energy, which then powers a lightbulb, producing radiant energy. ]]> 2023-03-02 17:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/2733104/637l95qxl4g4f8bq/wish/2501462176
