5. Mechanical Energy Definition Uses Menu

6. Definition of Mechanical Energy Definition: the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. Mechanical Energy Menu

7. Uses of Mechanical Energy Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy of a bowling ball gives the ball the ability to apply a force to a bowling pin in order to cause the pin to be knocked over. Mechanical Energy Menu

8. Light (Radiant) Energy Definition Uses Menu

9. Definition of Light (Radiant) Energy Definition: Energy of electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic Wave: Energy from electric and magnetic forces that come together and induce an electric field around them. Light Energy Menu

10. Uses of Light (Radiant) Energy The sun produces light (radiant) energy to help plants grow by helping produce photosynthesis. Light (radiant) Energy is used during an x-ray. The energy is strong enough to see through skin but not bones. Light Energy Menu

11. Thermal Energy Definition Uses Menu

12. Definition of Thermal Energy Definition: energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more the molecules vibrate, therefore the higher its thermal energy. Thermal Energy Menu

13. Uses of Thermal Energy If a stove is on and a pan of water is on top of it, the thermal energy from the stove makes the molecules in the pan move faster causing the pan and water to get hot. Thermal Energy is also in the Sun. If clothes are hung outside to dry, the sun uses thermal energy to speed up the molecules in the clothes, causing them to dry. Thermal Energy Menu

14. Electrical Energy Definition Uses Menu

15. Definition of Electrical Energy Definition: When electrons move from one atom to the other, with the use of magnetic forces. Electrical Energy Menu

16. Uses of Electrical Energy A battery transfers stored energy as charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire. Electrical energy is transferred to the surroundings by the lamp to make the lamp light up. Lightning is one good example of electrical energy in nature. It is very powerful. Thunderclouds build up large amounts of electrical energy. They are released during lightning when the clouds strike against each other. Electrical Energy Menu

17. Sound Energy Definition Uses Menu

18. Definition of Sound Energy Definition: The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves. Sound Energy Menu

19. Uses of Sound Energy A copier machine produces sound energy when the machine vibrates to make copies. A drumstick produces sound energy when it strikes a drumhead and cause it to vibrate. Sound Energy Menu
