Energy
- renewable energy
- can be renewed over a short amount of time
- Is also a reliable source of energy and is not easily depleted
- examples
- wood
- water
- solar
- wind
- non-renewable energy
- take millions of years to form
- a unreliable scoure of energy as it can be depleted easily
- examples
- oil
- natural gas
- coal
- nuclear
- there are many different forms of energy
- examples
- electrical
- Example: electrical socket
- Electric energy is the energy created by
electrons moving through an electrical
conductor.
- heat
- Thermal energy is what we call energy that
comes from the temperature of matter. The
hotter the substance, the more its molecules
vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal
energy.
- Example: the sun
- kinetic
- Example: rolling ball
- It is energy possessed by an object
due to its motion or movement.
- elastic
- Example: stretch rubber band
- Elastic energy is the potential
mechanical energy stored in the
configuration of a material or
physical system as work is performed
to distort its volume or shape.
- nuclear
- Nuclear power is the use of nuclear
reactions that release nuclear energy to
generate heat, which most frequently is
then used in steam turbines to produce
electricity in a nuclear power plant.
- Example: nuclear power plants
- chemical
- Example: batteries
- Chemical Energy is released when
bonds form in a chemical reaction
- gravitational
- Gravitational Potential energy is only
stored in the height of the object.
- Examples: apple on a tree
- sound
- Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to
vibrate — the energy is transferred through the substance in a wave.
- Example: speakers
- light
- It is formed through chemical,
radiation, and mechanical means.
- Example: a laser pointer
- thermal
- Example: fire
- thermal energy refers to the
internal energy present in a system
due to its temperature.
