mechanical energy

light energy

electrical energy

thermal energy

chemical energy

mechanical energy definition

953029 — 2024-02-12 22:08:09 UTC

mechanical energy has something to do with motion or its position. it is used to move objects or lift them.

what is the energy

953029 — 2024-02-12 22:21:22 UTC

Energy is in everything and everywhere. For example a tv has energy using electricity to power it. EVEN A HAMBURGER has energy it having potential energy.

energy transfer

953029 — 2024-02-12 22:32:28 UTC

Energy transfer is one something's energy gets transfer to one thing to another. For example water mills. The water uses its energy to move into the water mill and move its wheel.

energy transformation

953029 — 2024-02-13 21:52:29 UTC

Energy transformation is when somethings energy transform into another piece of energy. For example a windmill, the wind spins the propeller of a windmill which is used for electrical energy allowing it power houses building etc.

the law of conservation of energy.

953029 — 2024-02-13 21:55:59 UTC

The law of conservation of energy is called a law because it can NOT be broken. It states "energy cannot be created or destroyed." this means that energy can not be created out of nowhere nor can it be destroyed from existence. It can move through different sources and be transformed into a new piece of energy.

electrcial energy

953029 — 2024-02-13 22:11:00 UTC

Electrical energy is carried charged particles.

Another name for it is called electricity.

it can move through sources like when you plug in a toaster the charged particles go up the wire to turn on the toaster.

sound energy

953029 — 2024-02-13 22:17:27 UTC

Sound energy is carried by sound waves.

Sound waves can go through matter.

Sound waves a produced when something vibrates.

A radio can make sounds (we all know that)

thermal energy

953029 — 2024-02-13 22:24:57 UTC

Thermal energy has something to do with temperature.

Thermal energy can be used to tell if something is hot.

Thermal energy is created through friction.

Thermal energy is made up of atoms.

When the energy in a object speeds up it gets hotter and the opposite for something getting cold.

light energy def

953029 — 2024-02-13 22:58:51 UTC

Light energy is carried by a lightsource.

Light energy is also called "radiant energy" since most pieces of light have radiation waves hence the name.

Light sources with radiant energy are x-rays, uv light microwaves etc.

chemical energy

953029 — 2024-02-13 23:04:22 UTC

Chemical energy is stored between the bonds of a atom. it is used to bond atoms together. The human body has chemical energy. When humans eat food our stomach acid break the atoms bonds in the food and chemical energy is released.

questions: can energy change?

953029 — 2024-02-13 23:16:54 UTC

Energy can most definitely change how do you think solar panels work? Solar panels use the light being produced from the sun as energy. The light energy is then converted into electrical energy which can be used as other pieces of energy. A light bulb is another example, when you flip the switch electrical energy is running through the light bulb which is converted into light. Other types of light bulbs have a different way of producing light.

question 2: can energy be created or destroyed.

953029 — 2024-02-14 20:39:58 UTC

Energy can NOT be created or destroyed there is a law about it "The law of conservation of energy."

the law of conservation of energy states "energy cannot be created or destroyed."

Energy cannot just be created but it can be converted into another state Of energy to another.

question 3: can energy be transferred into more than one piece of energy?

953029 — 2024-02-15 00:24:39 UTC

Energy can be transferred into more than one piece of energy.

a piece of technology called "A hydroelectric generator" use mechanical energy to push its turbine which powers the generator. The generator then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy which can be used to convert into other pieces of energy. So yes energy can be transferred into multiple types of energy.

question 4: how does energy flow through a system?

953029 — 2024-02-15 00:44:56 UTC

The picture shows a energy system using mechanical energy as the source. The mechanical energy flows to the wheel spinning it into electrical energy. Which flows to the measuring cup to heat it.

The energy travels through each system to be converted into a new piece of energy.
