energy

QuestionAnswer
energy The ability to cause change
KE Energy of motion
PE stored energy
GPE Energy stored in objects that are above the earth surface
la of conservation of energy Energy can never be created or destroyed. It can only change forms.
electromagnetic energy Energy that is reflected, or emitted in the form of electrical wave that can travel through space
mechanical energy The total amount of KE plus PE in a system
thermal energy The sum of PE plus KE particles in a object
temperature A measure of average KE particles in an object
heat The transfer of energy from one object to another
insulator Materials that allow heat to not slow easy
conductor Materials that allow heat to flow easy
specific heat The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1°C or K
work transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move
power The amount of work done in a certain amount of time ;the rate at which work is done
explain the differences between the three types of potential energy elastic PE is stored an object that are compressed or stretched chemical PE is energy store in chemical bonds. Gravitational PE is stored in objects that are above the earth surface.
where would you find radiant energy? lightbulb
where would you find thermal sun
where would you find electrical energy? outlet
where would you find sound energy? speaking
where would you find nuclear energy? power plant
where would you find electromagnetic energy phone
what is the relationship between KE plus PE of a falling object The object starts with GPE, as it falls GPE decreases, and converts to Ke, which, as the object falls increases
determine the energy conservation for a lightbulb electrical to radiant/thermal
determine the energy conservation for a firework Chemical potential energy to radiant/thermal to sound
determine the energy conservation for a flute kinetic energy to sound
determine the energy conservation for a leaf radiant to chemical
explain the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy temperature means a measure of the average KE of particles in an object as the temperature rises the kinetic energy of particles rise
explain why there is no such thing as cold There’s no such thing as cold, because cold means the absence of something that is just without heat is cold they have a ke in their particles
describe how thermal energy flows when a person is sitting in a chair at a thermal energy flows by conduction when a person sitting in a chair at the desk the heat goes from a higher temperature to lower temperature
explain the difference between the three types of thermal energy transfer and examples conduction is the transfer of energy through direct contact of matter and example would be rubbing hands together.convection is the transfer of energy by the movement of heated particle An example would be boiling water.radiation is the transfer of energy
List examples of materials that would classify as conductors versus insulators conductors- metals and skin insulators- air, wood, and plastic
elastic potential energy Energy that is stored in objects that are being compressed or stretched
radiant energy light that comes from the sun in light bulbs, used to see in as a power source.
thermal energy heat that comes from fire, son, etc. Used to heat objects.
comes from outlets in power plants, used to power electrical devices. electrical energy
sound energy comes from a variety of sources, used most for communication
nuclear energy comes from releasing energy from nucleus of an atom, used in nuclear power plants
electromagnetic energy Energy that is reflected, or admitted in a form of electrical waves I can travel through space.
does mass increase as thermal energy increases? yes
formula for specific heat Q=me^T
what Hass to meet for something to be considered work? TWO conditions have to meet for something to be called work

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
