Term
Definition
electromagnetic radiation   energy in the form of light and heat. that is emitted by the sun (primary energy source for earth)  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy that has not been released  
🗑
kinetic energy   the energy of motion  
🗑
chemical energy   potential energy stored in chemical bonds  
🗑
1st law of thermodynamics   a physical law that states that when energy is transformed, the quality of the energy remains the same, however, its ability to do work deminishes  
🗑
2nd law of thermodynamics   a physical law stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can change from one to another  
🗑
temperature   the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance  
🗑
energy efficiency   the ratio of the amount of energy expended in the form you want to the total amount of energy that is introduced into the system  
🗑
entropy   randomnes in a system  
🗑
energy quality   the ease with which an energy source can be used for work  
🗑
open system   a system in witch exchanges of matter or energy occur across system boundaries  
🗑
closed system   a system in which matter and energy exchanges do not occur across boundaries  
🗑
input   an addition to a system  
🗑
output   a loss from a system  
🗑
system analysis   an analysis to determine inputs, outputs, and changes in a system under various conditions  
🗑
steady state   a state in which inputs = outputs, so that the system does not change over time  
🗑
negative feedback loop   when a system responds to a change by going back to its original state  
🗑
positive feedback loop   when a change in a system is amplified  
🗑
joule   basic unit of energy  
🗑
10% rule   every time energy is transferred to a new level, 90% of the energy is lost, therefore, the next level only holds 10% of the energy from the previous level  
🗑


   

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.
