Intro to . . .
Energy is the ability to cause change.
Terms to Know• potential energy• kinetic energy
• transformations• law of conservation of energy
• temperature• thermal energy
• heat• radiation
• conduction• convection
• chemical energy
Transformations
A change of energy from
one form to another.
For example . . .
Exploding fireworks are a
transformation of chemical energy into thermal and
light energy.
Kinetic Energy
Energy of movement
Depends on mass and
speed
Potential Energy
Energy of position
Depends on where it is in
relation to gravity,
magnetism, or some other
force
vs.
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy is neither created nor destroyed;
it only changes form
Thermal Energy
Total Kinetic Energy of the particles in a
material
TEMPERATURE HEATVS.
Transfer of
Thermalenergy
Measure of

Energy is
A: only available when a force acts on an object.B: only found in moving objects.C: the ability of an object to stay at rest.D: the ability to cause change.
Which of the following is an example of an
energy transformation?

A wagon sitting still at the top of a hill has
A: neither potential or kinetic energy
B: only potential energyC: only kinetic energyD: both potential and kinetic energy
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that
A: all vehicles must meet special standards to save gas.B: energy is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes form.C: ecosystems always lose energy as they develop.D: the food chain retains energy from one level to another.
Which is true of kinetic energy?
A: it depends on mass and speed
B: it is energy of positionC: it depends on where an
object is in relation to an energy sourceD: exists in motionless objects
The total kinetic energy of the particles in a material is called

Which of the following is NOT a way that energy
moves:
A: conductionB: convectionC: radiationD: mediation
Energy that is stored within bonds of
molecules is
A: kineticB: chemicalC: radiantD: light
Radiation involves the transfer of energy by
A: particle collisionsB: wavesC: airflowD: temperature change
The type of energy motion that may occur in
a vacuum (without matter present) is
A: radiationB: conductionC: convectionD: all of the above
The explosion of TNT involves breaking of chemical bonds that
release thermal energy. This type of chemical
reaction is called

Solar panels are used to heat the water of a
swimming pool. This represents a
transformation of
A: solar to kinetic energyB: thermal energy to electrical energyC: electrical energy to solar
energyD: solar energy to potential energy
Energy conversions are never 100% efficient. Whenever energy is
transferred some becomes heat energy
that is no longer available to do work.
