What is energy?

Energy is the ability to work. There are six energy's that we will give you information on: Mechanical, light, sound, electrical, chemical, and thermal energy.

What is an energy transfer?

263349_2 — 2024-02-12 21:58:19 UTC

Energy transfer is when an energy transfers energy to something creating different energy, one example of this is if you were riding a bike to power a TV it would start off with mechanical energy then to electrical because mechanical energy is when something moving which represents someone on a bike.

What is the law of Conservation of Energy.

263349_2 — 2024-02-12 22:01:15 UTC

The law of Conservation of Energy states you can't create energy or destroy it.

What is energy transformation?

155964_7 — 2024-02-12 22:03:12 UTC

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another.

What is Mechanical Energy?

263349_2 — 2024-02-12 22:09:11 UTC

Mechanical energy is when things move one example is if kermit was riding his bike to power something he is moving his legs producing energy, this is what mechanical energy is.

What is sound energy?

263349_2 — 2024-02-12 22:14:28 UTC

Sound energy is energy carried by waves that create sound, an example of this is if I were to yell across the room to my friend kermit the energy being produced by me would be carried by sound waves to him .

What is electrical energy?

155964_7 — 2024-02-12 22:15:31 UTC

Electrical energy is carried by charged particles. It is also known as electricity. An example of this is plugging in your phone to charge. The particles move through the cord and into your phone.

What is Light Energy?

263349_2 — 2024-02-12 22:19:25 UTC

Light energy is when energy is carried by light. If kermit were to turn on a flashlight the energy from the flashlight is being carried by light and producing it so we are able to see.

What is thermal energy?

155964_7 — 2024-02-12 22:25:19 UTC

Thermal energy is connected to temperature. Atoms vibrate very fast and the faster they vibrate the hotter the object gets. An example of this is a fire. When you rub two pieces of wood together, they create sparks to make a fire.

What is chemical energy?

155964_7 — 2024-02-12 22:31:26 UTC

Chemical energy is energy that is being stored somewhere and waiting to be used. An example of this is saving food in your pantry to eat it later. "Chemical energy is basically just potential energy" -Kermit.

How does energy flow through a system?

155964_7 — 2024-02-13 21:55:14 UTC

Energy flows through a system by the food chain and by the trophic level. An example of this is a plant getting energy from the sun then an animal eats the plant then another animal eats that animal and so on. Another example is in the ocean. A plant in the ocean gets sunlight then a fish eats it then a bigger fish eats it then a shark eats it.

Can energy change?

263349_2 — 2024-02-13 22:07:03 UTC

Energy can change because in the Phet lab we did when the bike was powering a wheel we saw mechanical energy change to electrical energy and then power a light bulb releasing light energy. One example of energy changing is, when you plug in your phone to a charger little electrons go through the cord which is electrical energy and when you put on the flashlight on your phone the electrical energy changes to light energy. Energy changes all the time because we move which is mechanical energy and then we interact with something else changing any of the six common energys. However you cannot destroy or create energy because everything is potential energy, and you cannot break the law of conservation of Energy.

Can energy be created or destroyed?

155964_7 — 2024-02-13 22:11:33 UTC

Energy CANNOT be created or destroyed. The law of conservation of energy states this. They can only transform to a different type of energy. This means that the amount of energy in the world will always stay the same.

Can an object transfer more than one energy?

263349_2 — 2024-02-13 22:20:29 UTC

An object can transfer more than one energy. An example of this is, when you start a campfire it transfers the three heat transfer mechanisms, radiation, conduction, and convection. The reason an object can transfer more than one energy is because when you have a light bulb it lights up but also gets hot and that is more than one type of energy becoming waste energy. This is how objects can transfer more than one type of energy.
