Scientific Energy

(WIP)

EnergyDefinitionPotential or KineticPotential or Kinetic+Examples
Electrical Energy Energy made available through the flow of electric current through a conductor Electric Energy Kinetic
Radiant Energy Energy carried by light and other types of electromagnetic radiations Radiant Energy Kinetic
Chemical Energy Energy stores in the bonds of chemical compounds that is released during certain reactions Chemical Energy Potential
Elastic Energy Energy stores in an object when it is compressed or stretched Elastic Energy Potential
Nuclear Energy Energy released when atoms split (fission) or join together (fusion) Nuclear Energy Potential
Thermal Energy Energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of it atoms Thermal Energy Kinetic
Sound Energy Energy transferred through a medium by a longitudinal wave Sound Energy Kinetic
Gravitational Energy Energy of an object due to its high position compared to a low one Gravitational Potential
Generally, what is light energy in a briefer category? Radiant
Is radiant energy a broader term? Yes, it holds many other energies inside that category like light, microwaves, x waves and gamma waves
What does sound need to be transferred through? A medium
What can electrical energy go through? A conductor, which is essentially anything
Mechanical Energy The sum of energy associated with the motion & position of an object
Potential Energy Energy an object has due to to its position or it's stored energy
Kinetic Energy Energy of an object or a particle due to its motion
Mechanical Energy branches off onto two energy fields Potential and(+) Kinetic
When a pendulum is at it's highest point how much potential energy does it have? And how much kinetic is there 100% PE 0% KE
When a pendulum is at it's mid-point left and right how much potential energy does it have? And how much kinetic is there 50% PE 50% KE
When a pendulum is at it's lowest point how much potential energy does it have? And how much kinetic is there 0% PE 100% KE
Heat Describes a condition
How does heat flow? Heat flows from high-temperature to low-temperature
Matter does not contain heat is has energy
Heat Radiation The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves Doesn't require matter
How thermal energy works Thermal energy increased as temperature increases and thermal energy decreases as temperature decreases
Thermal is defined as... Thermal energy is defined as the total energy of all the particles in a substance. It depends on mass & temperature Mass & Temperature
The symbol of heat is Q
Conduction One particle of matter to another in an object without movement Heating an iron bar
Heat Transfer How heat flows, and it depends on the temperature difference
Temperature Is defined as the measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms substance
If an object cools down, it means it has lost thermal equilibrium
If an object became hotter, it means that it has gained heat energy
Thermal Equilibrium When two things have the same temperature When to things are the same temperature
Convection The movement that transfers heat within fluids and air (gas) Boiling water
Less atoms and molecules means that thermal energy is easier to go through it causing it to heat up faster
Water absorbs a lot of heat energy, its temperature changes while sand needs little energy, water has more molecules to break through, than sand
Specific heat capacity is to raise the temperature Q=mcΔT
T=? Tf-Ti
Top of the trampoline PE 100%
Bottom of the trampoline KE 100%
Formula for ME PE + KE
Formula for PE mgh
G 9.8m/s^2
KE 1/2(MV^2)
E Joules

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
