Energy Transformation Worksheet

The document discusses different forms of energy: potential, kinetic, mechanical, chemical, thermal, electromagnetic, sound, and nuclear. It states that energy can be transformed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed, as per the Law of Conservation of Energy. Examples are given of different energy transformations, such as kinetic to potential energy when a moving object slows down, chemical to thermal and electromagnetic energy when striking a match, and nuclear to thermal to mechanical to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.

Energy Transformation worksheet Name: _________________

We learned that Energy


can be either Potential Energy (PE) or Kinetic Energy (KE)
is measured in Joules (J)
comes in !orms:
"echanical (!rom mo#ing ob$ects)
%hemical (chemical bonds in a substance)
&hermal (heat energy)
Electromagnetic (tra#els through s'ace as wa#es)
(ound (tra#els through air or other matter as wa#es)
Nuclear (!rom nuclear reactions)
Electrical (electricity)
We also learned that energy can neither be created or destroyed only trans!ormed) &his
is the Law of Conservation of Energy) &he amount o! energy in the uni#erse is constant)
*''ly what you ha#e learned to answer the !ollowing +uestions:
,) * mo#ing ob$ect has
*) kinetic energy
-) 'otential energy
%) both kinetic and 'otential energy
.) neither kind o! energy
/) &he energy stored inside a battery is
*) kinetic energy
-) 'otential energy
%) both kinetic and 'otential energy
.) neither kind o! energy
0) 1n the 'icture below2 in which 'osition does the ball ha#e the greatest 'otential
energy3
*) , -) / %) 0 .) 4
4) &he 'ur'ose o! a nuclear 'ower 'lant is to trans!orm nuclear energy into electricity)
&his is done in ste's starting with a nuclear reaction which generates heat to 'roduce
steam) &he steam in turn is used to turn a generator which !inally 'roduces electricity)
Which answer best illustrates these energy trans!ormation3
*) nuclear 5 mechanical 5 chemical 5 electrical
-) thermal 5 nuclear 5 mechanical 5 electrical
%) mechanical 5 thermal 5 nuclear 5electrical
.) nuclear 5 thermal 5 mechanical 5 electrical
6) What energy trans!ormation(s) take(s) 'lace when you strike and light a match3
*) chemical to nuclear energy
-) mechanical to thermal energy
%) chemical to thermal and electromagnetic energy
.) electromagnetic to 'otential energy
