Energy Transformations - 6.9C
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Energy Transformation | The change of energy from one form to another. |
| Conductor | A substance that readily transfers heat or electrical energy. |
| Insulator | A material that does not conduct heat or electrical current. |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion. |
| Chemical Energy | Energy stored in chemical bonds and released through chemical reactions. |
| Electrical Energy | A form of energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor. |
| Light Energy | A form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space; part of the electromagnetic spectrum. |
| Mechanical Energy | The sum of the potential and kinetic energy of an object. |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes. |
| Sound Energy | A form of energy that is made by vibrations and requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) in order to travel. Sound waves travel slower than light waves. |
| System | A group of interacting or interdependent elements forming a complex whole; for example, all the factors or variables in an environment or all the variables that might affect a science experiment. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form. |
| Energy | The ability to do work |
