A | B |
Gravitational potential energy | is the energy that is given to an object that is lifted |
Thermal energy | is all of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles that make up an object |
Sound energy | is the energy caused by an objects vibration |
Electrical energy | is the energy of moving electrons |
Light energy | is the energy that is produced by vibrations of electrically charged particles |
A radiometer | can measure the energy from the Sun |
The potential energy is greatest in a roller coaster | at the top of the first hill |
After an energy conversion you end up with | the same total amount of energy as the orginal amount of potential energy |
When you end up with the same amount of energy as the original amount of potential energy after an energy conversion this is | the law of conservation of energy |
Anytime an energy conservation takes place some of the original energy is | converted to thermal energy |
