explain energy transformation in terms of law of conservation of energy
e | Answer |
---|---|
low of conservation | the law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another |
energy | the capacity to do work |
work | the transfer of energy to an object by using force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force |
kinetic energy | the energy of an object that is due to the objects motion |
potential energy | the energy that an object has because of the position,shape,or condition of the object |
mechanical energy | the amount of work an object can do because of the objects kinetic and potential energy |
thermal energy | the kinetic energy of a substance atoms |
heat | the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures |
chemical energy | the energy that is stored in chemical bonds |
electrical energy | the energy that results from the flow of moving charges |
electromagnetic | energy resulting from the motion of the charged particles within atoms |
sound energy | energy given off by a vibrating object |
nuclear energy | the energy stored in the nucleus of a atom as a result of strong nuclear forces |
nuclear fissions | the splitting of the nucleus of a large atom to two or more fragments releases additional neutrons and energy |
nuclear fusion | the combination of the nuclei of small atoms to form a large nucleus releases energy |
temperature | a measure of how hot or (cold) something is;specifically ,a measure of the avergae kinetic energy of the particles of an object |
conduction | the transfer of heat by direct contact of paryicles |
convection | he transfer of thermal energy by the circulation of movement of a liquid or a gas |
radiation | the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves |
