        Help!  

Term
Definition
energy   ability to cause change  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy due to the interaction between objects or particles  
🗑
chemical energy   the energy stored in and released from the bonds between atoms  
🗑
nuclear energy   the energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy due to motion  
🗑
electric energy   the energy in an electric current  
🗑
mechanical energy   the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy in a system  
🗑
thermal energy   the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the particles that make up the object  
🗑
wave   disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter  
🗑
sound energy   energy carried by sound waves  
🗑
radiant energy   energy carried by electromagnetic waves  
🗑
law of conversation of energy   says that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed  
🗑
energy transfer   when energy moves from one object to another without changing form  
🗑
energy transformation   when one form of energy is converted to another form of energy  
🗑

🗑
open system   system that exchanges matter or energy with the environment  
🗑
closed system   system that doesn't exchange matter or energy with the environment  
🗑
renewable energy resource   an energy resource that is replaced as fast as, or faster, than it is used  
🗑
nonrenewable energy resource   an energy resource that is available in limited mounts or that is used faster than it can be replaced in nature  
🗑
temperature   the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material  
🗑
heat   the movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature  
🗑
conduction   transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter  
🗑
radiation   the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves  
🗑
convection   the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of the particles from one part of a material to another  
🗑
vaporization   the change of state from a liquid to a gas  
🗑
thermal conductor   material in which thermal energy moves quickly  
🗑
thermal insulator   a material in which thermal energy moves slowly  
🗑


   

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.
