Energy and Temperature
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| chemical energy | the potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules |
| electrical energy | the movement of electrical charge |
| energy | the ability to cause change or the ability to do work; measured in Joules |
| gravitational energy | the potential energy of position |
| heat | the transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another due to the temperature difference between the two substances |
| Joule | the SI derived unit used to measure energy or work |
| Kinetic energy | the energy of an object in motion |
| Law of conservation of energy | energy can be converted from one form to another, but it is not created or destroyed in ordinary physical and chemical processes |
| mechanical energy | the movement of objects from one place to another |
| nuclear energy | energy stored in the nucleus of an atom |
| Potential energy | the energy an object has because of its position or composition |
| radiant energy | electromagnetic energy that travels in waves |
| sound | the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves |
| electric potential energy | the stored energy of electric charges due to their position and interaction around other charges |
| temperature | a measure of the average kinetic energy, caused by the vibration and movement of atoms and molecules, of a substance |
| thermal energy | the internal energy in a substance caused by vibration of atoms and molecules |
| work | the process of causing matter to move against an opposing force |
