Question | Answer |
Energy | ability to do work or cause change |
Joules | measures energy |
Kinetic Energy | moving energy |
Potential Energy | stored energy |
Elastic Potential | when an object is pulled or stretched out of normal shape, releases energy when returned to normal shape |
Mechanical Energy | Potential + Kinetic or (motion) |
Chemical Energy | stored in chemical bonds, example: food |
Nuclear Energy | stored in an atom's nucleus- /produce sunlight |
Electromagnetic Energy | travels through space waves, example: x-rays/radio waves/microwaves |
Thermal Energy | the total kinetic and potential energy within an object (heat) |
Energy Transformation | one form of energy to another (changes form) |
Energy Transfer | no change in form |
Law of Conservation of Energy | energy is lost nor created- only changes form |
Direction of heat transfer | hot to cold |
Conduction | when objects touch heat is transferred |
Convection | only in fluids such as water or air (moves in a cycle) |
Radiation | fire= feel without touching, radiation does not need matter |
Power | rate work is done |
need to know..... | when energy transforms from kinetic to potential/ potential to kinetic the total sum of energy doesn't change!! |
need to know..... | work- transfer of energy, work is a force exerted on an object |
Work is done when a force is exerted on an object , makes the object move in the direction of the force -- this is a transfer of energy | Power is a rate at which work is done or transfer of energy over time |
