Classify the Forms of Energy in Different Scenarios
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
The visible light that allows people to see where they are going describes ____________ energy.A windmill’s blades move from the blowing wind. The movement of the blades represents kinetic energy.
The visible light that allows people to see where they are going describes radiant energy.
Explanation:
An object possesses an energy due to its motion is referred to as kinetic energy. Whereas energy due to the position of an object is called potential energy.
When the wind blows, its blade catches kinetic energy and rotates to transform into mechanical energy. Hence, the blade's rotation denotes kinetic energy.
Radiant energy is simply energy transmitted by waves or sometimes by particles. It is energy emitted by electromagnetic radiation. It is also a kind of kinetic energy.
Because particles move when they move light, heat, and radiation from one source to another. Therefore, Radiant energy denotes when visible light permits people to see where they go.
What are the forms of energy described in the given scenarios? The forms of energy described in the scenarios are kinetic energy and radiant energy.
