Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conduction | process by which energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object by physical contact |
| Convection | process by which energy is transferred in gases and liquids, occurring when a warmer, less dense area of gas or liquid is pushed up by a cooler, more dense area of the gas or liquid |
| Heat | energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object |
| Kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another or transferred from one place to another |
| Potential energy | stored energy that an object has due to its position or chemical composition |
| Radiation | process by which energy is transferred through empty space in waves |
| Energy | The ability to do work or cause a change |
| Transformation | a change of energy from one form to another |
| Transfer | a change in energy from one location to another |
| Fluid | a substance that can flow easily, such as a gas or a liquid |
| Friction | a force that resists the motion between two surfaces that are in contact with one another |
| Mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| Mechanical energy | energy that moves objects |
| Sound energy | energy resulting from vibrations of particles in matter; cannot travel through empty space |
| Effort | the amount of force used to move an object over a distance |
| Distance | the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc. |
| Electromagnetic energy | energy transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves |
| Work | the use of force to move an object over a distance |
| Chemical energy | energy stored in the chemical make-up (composition)of matter |
| Thermal energy | the total amount of energy from the movement of particles in matter (heat energy) |
| Nuclear energy | energy produced through joining of the nuclei of two atoms (fusion) or breaking apart of a nucleus (fission) |
| Energy efficiency | measurement of usable energy after an energy conversion |
