WJSH 8 Energy

Energy

QuestionAnswer
energy the ability to cause change
kinetic energy energy of motion
potential energy stored energy
mechanical energy energy that moves objects
sound energy results from the vibration of particles in a solid, liquid or gas
chemical energy energy that is stored in the chemical composition of matter
thermal energy total amount of energy from the movement of particles in matter (causes heat)
electromagnetic energy energy transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves (visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
nuclear energy energy from the center (nucleus) of an atom
law of conservation of energy energy cannot be created or destroyed
energy efficiency measurement of usable energy after an energy conversion
kinetic theory of matter all the particles that make up matter are always in motion
temperature measure of the average kinetic energy
thermal expansion solids, liquids, and gases expand when their temperature increases
heat flow of energy from an object at a warmer temperature to a cooler temperature
specific heat the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celcius
conduction the process that moves energy from one object to another when they are touching physically
conductor material that transfers energy easily (metals)
insulator material that does NOT transfer heat easily (foam, plastic, wood, etc.)
convection the process by which cooler and denser air or liquid sinks, pushing the warmer up
radiation energy that travels as electromagnetic waves, which include visible light, microwaves, and infrared light (Sun is most significant source)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
