        Help!  

Question
Answer
energy   the ability to cause change  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy  
🗑
mechanical energy   energy that moves objects  
🗑
sound energy   results from the vibration of particles in a solid, liquid or gas  
🗑
chemical energy   energy that is stored in the chemical composition of matter  
🗑
thermal energy   total amount of energy from the movement of particles in matter (causes heat)  
🗑
electromagnetic energy   energy transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves (visible light, x-rays, microwaves)  
🗑
nuclear energy   energy from the center (nucleus) of an atom  
🗑
law of conservation of energy   energy cannot be created or destroyed  
🗑
energy efficiency   measurement of usable energy after an energy conversion  
🗑
kinetic theory of matter   all the particles that make up matter are always in motion  
🗑
temperature   measure of the average kinetic energy  
🗑
thermal expansion   solids, liquids, and gases expand when their temperature increases  
🗑
heat   flow of energy from an object at a warmer temperature to a cooler temperature  
🗑
specific heat   the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celcius  
🗑
conduction   the process that moves energy from one object to another when they are touching physically  
🗑
conductor   material that transfers energy easily (metals)  
🗑
insulator   material that does NOT transfer heat easily (foam, plastic, wood, etc.)  
🗑
convection   the process by which cooler and denser air or liquid sinks, pushing the warmer up  
🗑
radiation   energy that travels as electromagnetic waves, which include visible light, microwaves, and infrared light (Sun is most significant source)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
