1 Student Study Guide: Energy Rules! Name: Class / Period: Instructions: Enter the term, its definition, or an example as indicated. Energy: energy the energy of an object or substance in movement; sometimes just called kinetic energy energy the energy an object has due to place or position, such as its height above the Earth; a form of potential energy energy the energy of electrons (negatively charged particles) moving or flowing within a substance energy electromagnetic energy that travels in waves; also called radiant energy energy the internal energy of a substance due to random vibration and movement of its atoms and molecules; also called thermal energy energy energy that moves through substances (like air) by compression waves; sound energy energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms and molecules energy energy stored in the nucleus of an atom; the energy that holds an atom together; sometimes called atomic energy Laws of Thermodynamics: 52

2 Student Study Guide: Energy Rules! Name: TEACHER ANSWER KEY Class / Period: Instructions: Enter the term, its definition, or an example as indicated. Energy: the capacity to do work or create change motion energy the energy of an object or substance in movement; sometimes just called kinetic energy a person dancing, car in motion, a thrown ball, flowing water, etc. gravitational energy the energy an object has due to place or position, such as its height above the Earth; a form of potential energy a rock on the edge of a cliff, water behind a dam, etc. electric energy the energy of electrons (negatively charged particles) moving or flowing within a substance electricity in power lines or home wiring, electricity from a battery light energy electromagnetic energy that travels in waves; also called radiant energy sunlight, the light of a lamp or of a TV or computer monitor, etc. heat energy the internal energy of a substance due to random vibration and movement of its atoms and molecules; also called thermal energy heat from the burner of a stove, charcoal grill, forest fire, etc. sound energy energy that moves through substances (like air) by compression waves; sound any kind of sound - from a human, machine, animal, Discman, etc. chemical energy energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms and molecules energy plants store by photosynthesis, any food we eat, coal, oil nuclear energy energy stored in the nucleus of an atom; the energy that holds an atom together; sometimes called atomic energy uranium at a nuclear power plant; plutonium in a nuclear bomb Laws of Thermodynamics: The total amount of energy in the universe is constant. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another. 53
