Mrs. Shafter's Energy Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gravatational | Stored energy that uses the force of gravity, it dependes on 3 things, an objects mass, the falling distance and the objects acceleration. |
| Elastic | When an object changes shapes elastic energy powers an object rapidly to return to it's origanal shape. |
| Magnetic | The potential energy ia an magnetic field. |
| Chemical | Energy stored within the bands of an substance when bonds are broken energy is produced. |
| Nuclear | Energy stored in the hands of subatomic particles. |
| Mechanical | The energy of an object in motion is called mechanical energy. |
| Thermal | the particles that make up an substance are Always vibrating stretching and rotating it is total energy within an substance.It is due to the random motion of particles. |
| Electrial | Electrical energy is kinetic energy that results from movement of changes. |
| Sound | When you near music coming out of your radio you feel vibrations that are assosiated with anither source of kinetic energy. |
| Electromagnetic | Electromagnetic energy travles as waves and does not require a medium through which to travel. This form of energy can travel through the vacuum of space, and has electrical and magnetic properties. |
| Renewable Resource | Examples would be solar, wind, water and biomass. |
| Nonrenewable Resource | Resources that will run out. Examples would be fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, natural gas and uranium. |
| Recyclable Resource | Resources that can be taken and reused. An example would be turning plastic bottles into toys, or aluminum cans into jewelry. |
| Potential Energy | Energy that is stored and due to the chemical composition or position of an object. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy of motion. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | States that energy cannot be created or destroyed. |
| Energy | The ability to cause a change. |
| Conduction | Conduction is the process that moves thermal energy from one object to another when they are touching physically |
| Convection | Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by movement of a liquid or a gas. |
| Radiation | Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves such as visible light and infrared waves. |
| Fusion | Nuclear Fusion occurs when two or more nuclei combine to fuse to form a larger nucleus. Like in the sun. |
| Fission | Nuclear Fission is the process by which a large nucleus splits Into two small nuclei and releases energy. |
| Hypothesis | A prediction that can be tested. |
| Observations | A part of the scientific method that requires us to use our 5 senses? |
| Scientific Law | A rule describing a consistent pattern in nature. It happens every time all the time. |
| Constants | All the factors that must be the same every time the experiment is conducted. |
| Control | A factor or condition that is the same in the control and the experimental groups is |
| Meter | Metric unit used to measure distance. |
| Liter | Metric unit used to measure volume. |
| Mass | Measure of the amount of matter in an object. |
| Volume | Measure of the amount of space an object takes up. |
| Second | Metric unit used to measure time. |
| Kilo | Metric prefix for 1000. |
| Hecto | Metric prefix for 100. |
| Deka | Metric prefix for 10 |
| Base | Metric prefix for 1. |
| Deci | Metric prefix for .1 |
| Centi | Metric prefix for .01 |
| Milli | Metric prefix for .001 |
| Gram | Metric unit for mass. |
