The Universe Flashcards
(Types of Energy and Mass)
The Universe is made up of 2 things
Matter and Energy
Energy
The ability to make something happen
Matter
Anything that has mass and volume
Kinetic Energy
energy transferred from one place to another.
“Form of energy an object or particle has by reason of its motion”
Potential energy
Energy that is stored
The 2 types of Kinetic Energy are..
- Electromagnetic waves/ Radiation
- Mechanical Energy
Electromagnetic Waves/Radiation:
waves of energy that travel through space and do not need a medium (like air or water) to move.
Examples of EM waves/Radiation
-Gamma
-Xray
-UV
-Visible light
-Infrared
-Micro
-Radio
Mechanical Energy
the energy associated with moving objects or objects that have the potential to move due to forces acting on them.
Examples of Mechanical energy
-Movement(solid)
-Hydro(Liquid)
-Sound(Gas)
-Thermal electricity(particles)
The 2 types of Potential energy are..
-Field energy
-Bonds
Field energy
refers to the energy stored in a force field, such as a gravitational, electric, or magnetic field. This energy is associated with the potential to do work on objects within the field.
Examples of Field Energy:
-Magnetic field
-gravitational field
-electromagnetic field
Bonds Energy
the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond between two atoms in a molecule.
Examples of Bond Energy
-nuclear
-chemical
-elastic
Mass
a measure of the amount of particles something is made of
Volume
a measure of the amount of space something takes up

Substance
a collection of particles that are the same
Mixture
a collection of particles that are not the same
