Words Meaning Example
Energy The ability to do work or cause a change, often measured in joules or calories. The sun provides the Earth with energy in the form of sunlight.
Electricity A form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles, typically electrons. Electricity powers our homes and electronic devices.
Kinetic Energy The energy possessed by an object in motion. A moving car has kinetic energy.
Potential Energy The stored energy of an object based on its position or state. A raised hammer has potential energy due to gravity.
Renewable Energy Energy derived from sources that can be replenished naturally, like wind and sunlight. Solar panels convert sunlight into renewable energy.
Fossil Fuels Carbon-rich energy sources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, like coal and oil. Gasoline, derived from oil, powers many vehicles.
Nuclear Energy Energy released during nuclear reactions, often harnessed for power generation. Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy to produce electricity.
Wind Energy Energy generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind through wind turbines. Wind farms produce electricity using wind energy.
Hydroelectric Energy Energy generated from the movement of water, typically in dams and rivers. A hydroelectric dam converts water flow into electrical energy.
Solar Energy Energy derived from sunlight using solar panels or solar cells. Solar energy powers homes and heats water through solar panels.
Geothermal Energy Energy extracted from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface. Geothermal power plants use heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity.
Chemical Energy Energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules, released during chemical reactions. Gasoline contains chemical energy that powers internal combustion engines.
Heat Energy The energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat energy from a campfire keeps you warm on a cold night.
Thermal Energy Energy related to the temperature of an object or substance. Thermal energy can be transferred as heat from one object to another.
Sound Energy Energy produced by the vibration of objects, transmitted through air, water, or solids as sound waves. Musical instruments convert mechanical energy into sound energy.
Light Energy Energy that can be seen and used to produce visual sensation, typically from sources like the sun or artificial light. Photovoltaic cells convert light energy into electrical energy.
Gravitational Energy Energy associated with an object's position relative to a gravitational field. An object at a height has gravitational potential energy.
Electromagnetic Energy Energy carried by electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, and visible light. Microwaves use electromagnetic energy to heat food.
Friction A force that opposes the motion of objects in contact, converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. Friction between the brakes and a car's wheels generates heat energy.
Entropy A measure of the disorder or randomness in a system, often related to the dispersal of energy. As ice melts and water molecules move more freely, entropy increases.
