Physics - Energy

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
Potential energy   energy that is stored as a result of position or shape  
🗑
Thermal energy   increases when an object becomes warmer  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Energy   energy can be converted from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed  
🗑
Mechanical energy   kinetic energy + potential energy  
🗑
Nonrenewable energy   a source of energy that exists in limited quanitities and once used, cannot be replaced except over the course of millions of years  
🗑
Heat   the transfer of energy from one object to another because of a difference in temperature  
🗑
Temperature   related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object  
🗑
Potential energy increases   as the temperature of an object rises  
🗑
Q=m x c x change in T   specific heat = mass x specific heat x change in temperature  
🗑
Radiation   manner by which energy from the Sun reaches Earth  
🗑
To transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection, you need:   matter  
🗑
Metal   good heat conductor  
🗑
