What is the law surrounding energy
Energy is never created or destroyed only ever transferred between different forms and objects
True or False:
Energy is never created or destroyed only ever transferred between different forms and objects
True
True or False:
Energy is never created but can be destroyed only ever transferred between different forms and objects
False
What is it called where we store energy
Energy store
What is thermal energy
Heat energy trapped in an object or temperature
What is kinetic energy
Energy that involves movement or motion
What is gravitational potential energy
Where energy is positioned in a gravitational field
What is elastic energy
Energy held in an already- stretched string
Where is chemical energy held
In chemical bonds
What type of energy occasionally gives you an electric shock when you touch your car
Electrostatic energy
What is magnetic energy
Energy that holds magnets
What is nuclear energy
Energy created from breaking atoms apart
What are the 8 main types of energy stores
Thermal
Kinetic
Nuclear
Gravitational potential
Electrostatic
Elastic
Magnetic
Chemical
True or False:
Energy is fixed in an object
False energy can be transferred
What term do we use to describe the movement of energy
Transferred
What 4 ways can we transfer energy
Mechanically
Heating
Electrically
Radiation
What 2 types of radiation can we use to transfer energy
Light
Sound
What term do we use to describe an object or group of objects
System
What happens when a system changes
Energy is transferred
What 2 ways can energy change in a system
To a new object
To a new state
In an open system how can energy move
It can transfer into and out to the outside world
Energy is either lost or gain depending on how it interacts with the outside world
What is an open system
When energy can be lost or gained by interacting with the outside world
In what type of system is energy separated from the outside world
Close system
In what type of system can energy interact with the outside world
Open system
