Science Lesson 7
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Thermal energy | The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles that make up an object |
| Sound energy | Energy carried by sound waves |
| Mechanical energy | Some of the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system |
| Work | The amount of energy used as a force moves an object over a distance |
| Potential energy | Stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy due to motion |
| Energy | The ability to cause change |
| Electric energy | Energy caused by an electric current |
| Radiant energy | Energy carried by an electromagnetic wave |
| Nuclear energy | Energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom |
| Law of conservation of energy | Law that states the energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed |
| Heat | The movement of the thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature |
| Friction | A contact force that resist the sliding motion of two surfacesthat are touching |
| Conduction | The transfer of thermal energy due to collisions between particles |
| Thermal conductor | The material for which the thermal energy flows quickly |
| Thermal insulator | A material through which thermal energy flows slowly |
| Convection | The circulation of particles with a material caused by differences in thermal energy in density, the transfer of the thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another |
| Radiation | The transfer of the thermal energy by electromagnetic wave waves |
