Heat and Gas
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Energy | is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules |
| Potential energy | stored energy and the energy of position |
| Kinetic energy | is motion — of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. |
| Radiant Energy | is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves |
| Thermal Energy | heat, is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within substances |
| Mechanical Energy | is energy stored in objects by tension |
| Motion Energy | is energy stored in the movement of objects |
| Gravitational Energy | energy stored in an object's height. The higher and heavier the object, the more energy is stored |
| Electrical Energy | is delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire |
| Sound Energy | the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves. |
| Energy | The ability to do work |
| Conduction | when two objects are at the same temperature |
| Radiation | Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves |
| Thermodynamics | The study of how heat moves |
| Specific Heat | amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius |
| Insulator | a material that will NOT easily conduct an electric current |
| Conductor | a material which electricity, heat or sound can flow through. |
| Thermal expansion | the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature |
| Temperature | the average kinetic energy |
