Match the terms to the correct descriptions. question 1 options: this type of energy is stored energy; it can be increased by getting into a higher position and/or stretching an object such as a rubber band this is energy that is transferred by the movement of electrons through a conductor: the electrons create a current. this can be either kinetic or potential and has to do with the energy of position and motion of an object this type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food this has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving this is radiant energy from the sun; it's the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes this type of energy travels through vibrations on waves this type of energy can be transferred in three different ways: 1) direction contact through collisions (also called conduction), 2) through a fluid making a current created by less dense fluids floating and more dense fluids sinking (also called convection), and 3) by waves traveling with or without a medium (also called radiation) this is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom this is the term used when energy changes from one form to another 1. mechanical energy 2. kinetic energy 3. potential energy 4. electrical energy 5. light energy 6. thermal energy 7. sound energy 8. chemical energy 9. nuclear energy 10. energy conversions

1. mechanical energy - this can be either kinetic or potential and has to do with the energy of position and motion of an object. For example moving vehicle possesses mechanical energy due to its motion.
2. kinetic energy - this has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving. For example airplane has a big kinetic energy in flight due to its large mass and fast velocity.
3. potential energy - this type of energy is stored energy; it can be increased by getting into a higher position and/or stretching an object such as a rubber band. For example dynamite has chemical potential energy that would be released during explosion.
4. electrical energy - this is energy that is transferred by the movement of electrons through a conductor: the electrons create a current. Metals conduct electricity better than nonmetals.
5. light energy - this is radiant energy from the sun; it's the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes. Light have different wavelenght and different color.
6. thermal energy - this type of energy can be transferred in three different ways: 1) direction contact through collisions (also called conduction), 2) through a fluid making a current created by less dense fluids floating and more dense fluids sinking (also called convection), and 3) by waves traveling with or without a medium (also called radiation). For example conduction is when we step on hot sand.
7. sound energy - this type of energy travels through vibrations on waves. Waves travel faster throw water than air.
8. chemical energy - this type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food. For example fat burning in human organism release energy that we use for walking, learning, etc.
9. nuclear energy - this is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom. For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.
10. energy conversions - this is the term used when energy changes from one form to another. For example in battery chemical energy is transformed in electrical energy.
