Term | Definition |
---|---|
THERMAL ENERGY | a form of kinetic energy resulting from the motion of particles that is transferred as heat; associated with the temperature of substances |
ELASTIC ENERGY | energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances (e.g., food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane contain stored chemical energy) |
TRANSFORM | changing from one form to another (e.g., energy transformation) |
CHEMICAL ENERGY | energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances (e.g., food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane contain stored chemical energy) |
ENERGY | the ability to cause change or do work |
ENERGY TRANSFER | transfer of energy from one object or substance to another |
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY | states that energy is neither created or destroyed. it only changes form |
NONRENEWABLE | natural resources that cannot be replaced once depleted (e.g., oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear) |
ELECTRICAL ENERGY | movement of electrons (e.g., electrons moving through wires is electricity; lightning) |
KINETIC ENERGY | energy of motion |
ENERGY CONSERVATION | management of the use of energy resources |
ENERGY RESOURCES | natural resources that can be used as a source of energy to do work |
MECHANICAL ENERGY | movement of objects or substances from one place to another |
SOUND ENERGY | movement of waves through a substance or object caused by vibrations |
RENEWABLE | natural resources that can be replaced by nature (e.g., solar, hydropower, wind, biomass) |
RADIATION | the transfer of energy from a light source (e.g., Sun, fire, light bulb, burner) to an object or substance |
POTENTIAL ENERGY | stored energy and the energy of position or shape |
ENERGY TRANSFORMATION (CONVERSION) | process of energy changing from one form to another |
LIGHT(RADIANT) ENERGY | energy from light waves (e.g., solar, light bulb) |
