Study Notes
Chapter 5 Study Guide
- Energy is the ability to cause change
- Energy can be transferred from one object to another
- Different forms of energy include kinetic, potential, thermal, sound, radiant, nuclear, and electrical energy
- The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
- Friction transforms mechanical energy into thermal energy
- Nonrenewable energy resources are used faster than they are replaced (e.g. fossil fuels)
- Renewable energy resources are replaced as quickly as they are used (e.g. wind, solar, hydroelectric)
- Conserving energy (e.g. turning off lights) reduces the rate at which resources are used, and extends their availability.
- Different types of energy resources have various advantages and disadvantages in terms of accessibility, cost, impact on the environment, and sustainability.
