Science CH 16 & 17
Energy and Waves/Temperature and Heat
Question | Answer |
---|---|
This transfers thermal energy from one area to another | A conductor |
The is the transfer of thermal energy from warmer regions to cooler regions. | Heat |
This is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particle that make up a material. | Temperature |
This type of energy is stored in an object. | Potential |
This is the energy an object has because it is moving. | Kinetic |
This is the measure of the strength, or intensity of the vibrations that produce a sound. | Volume |
The perceived highness or lowness of a sound. | Pitch |
Rapid back and forth motion. | Vibration |
Material that does not easily transfer energy. | Insulator |
Energy that an object has because of its motion or position. | Mechanical |
Sources of thermal energy. (Know at least 3) | Sun, chemical reactions, friction, electricity |
How are volume and pitch alike and how are they different. | They are both properties of mechanical vibrations. Pitch depends on wave frequency and volume depends on wave amplitude. |
