  1. Forms of Energy Unit 5

  2. Energy • Is the ability to cause changes in matter. • Energy can transform, or change, from one form into another. • Energy is never used up.

  3. Potential Energy • The energy an object has because of its position or condition.

  4. Kinetic Energy • The energy an object has because of its motion.

  5. Sound Energy • A form of energy that is carried as waves in a vibrating manner. • A type of kinetic energy, because particles of matter are moving. • The cause of all sound you hear.

  6. Thermal Energy • Is the total kinetic energy that makes up a substance. • Thermometers measure thermal energy.

  7. Light Energy • Is a form of energy that can travel through space. • It can also pass through some types of matter. • Travels as waves

  8. Chemical Energy • Energy that is stored in matter and that can be released by a chemical reaction

  9. Mechanical Energy • The total energy of motion and the position of an object.

  10. Electrical Energy • Energy caused by the movement of electric charges. • When you use electricity you are using electrical energy.

  11. Static Electricity • The buildup of electric charges on an object • Objects with the same charge repel each other • Objects with opposite charge attract each other

  12. Electric Current • The flow of electric charges along a path.

  13. Electric Motor • A device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy.

  14. Electromagnet • A device in which electric current is used to produce magnetism.

  15. Generator • A device that makes an electric current by converting kinetic energy to electrical energy.
