1. _______________________ is the ability to do work or cause change.
Energy can be divided into two categories: Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy.
2. __________________ ________________ is the energy an object has because of
its motion.
3. __________________ _________________ is stored energy or the energy of
position.
4. __________________ _______________ is the energy stored in chemical bonds.
5. _______________ _______________ is heat energy. This energy increases as
temperature increases.
6. ________________ ________________ is electromagnetic energy that travels in
waves. This type of energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio
waves. Solar energy is an example of this.
7. ______________ ______________ is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
8. _________________ _____________ is the movement of electrons. It is the
energy carried by the electric current that comes out of batteries and electrical
outlets.
9. _____________ ____________ is the movement of objects and substances from
one place to another. Wind is an example of this type of energy.
10. _____________ _______________ is the type of energy produced when a force
causes an object or substance to vibrate. The energy is transferred through the
substance in a longitudinal wave.
11. _____________ ____________________________ ____________ is energy
stored in objects by the application of a force. Compressed springs and stretched
rubber bands are examples of this type of energy.
12. _____________________ ___________________ is the energy of position or
place. The higher something is, the more of this type of energy there is.
13. _______________________ _____________________ are resources that are
renewable and cause less harm to the environment. Examples of these resources
are solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy.
14. An _________________________ ______________________ is a resource that
can’t be used up by humans. The sun is an example of this.
15. A _______________________ __________________________ is an energy
source that is used up much faster than it can be replaced. Fossil fuels are
examples of this type of resource.
16. A _____________________ __________________________ is an energy source
that is replaced continually.
17. A ________________________________ is a device that transforms radiant
energy directly into electrical energy.
18. A ________________________ is a device that transforms kinetic energy into
electrical energy.
19. A ______________________ is a set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a
generator at a power plant.
20. The _______ ____ ________________________ ____ ____________ states that
energy is never created or destroyed. Energy changes form, but the total amount
of energy in the universe stays the same.
