Across
- 3. The conversion of one form of energy into another, or the movement of energy from one place to another
- 6. The term "thermal energy" is used loosely in various contexts in physics and engineering. It can refer to several different well-defined physical concepts.
- 7. The sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation; does not include chemical energy or neclear energy.
- 9. In physics, electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of the electromagnetic field, which propagate through space and carry electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- 10. Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.
Down
- 1. The process of changing energy from one form to another.
- 2. Electrical energy is energy related to forces on electrically charged particles and the movement of electrically charged particles. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electric potential that is delivered by an electrical circuit.
- 4. The capacity to do work.
- 5. In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individua.
- 8. Chemical energy is the energy of chemical substances that is released when they undergo a chemical reaction and transform into other substances. Some examples of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, food, and gasoline.
