Mechanics Defining Energy: Forms of energy, conversions, and measuring by Anthony Carpi, Ph.D. Reading Quiz Teach with this Which unit of measurement is used to measure energy? ampere joule Kelvin watt What kind of energy is associated with moving objects? heat energy kinetic energy light energy potential energy When a conversion of energy occurs, the total amount of energy changes. decreases. increases. stays the same. What kind of energy is associated with the position of an object relative to a field of force? heat energy kinetic energy light energy potential energy The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. energy is converted into matter. energy is lost during conversion from one form to another. the amount of energy in the universe is always changing. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that energy increases during a change in form. energy tends to flow to where there is less order. entropy and energy are the same thing. with a change of energy, the entropy of the universe increases. All forms of energy have the ability to do work. true false Entropy always increases in a closed system because energy cannot be predicted. energy flow from a lower state to a higher one. energy flows from a higher state to a lower one. energy increases when it is contained.
