Types of Energy
The ability to do work.
What is Energy?
The tranfer of energy through touch.
What is Conduction?
Something that is really good at absorbing energy.
What is a Thermal Conductor?
Caused by an object’s vibrations.
What is Sound Energy?
The energy of a object, based on the object's motion
What is Kinetic Energy?
The process were hot water or air will rise up to the point where it becomes cool water or air, and slowly comes back down, and the cycle repeats itself over and over.
What is Convection?
Something that prevents heat from moving from one place to another.
What is a Thermal Insulator?
The energy of moving electrons.
What is Electrical Energy?
The amount of energy a object has, based on it position
What is Potential Energy?
Energy that radiated or transmitted from electrmagnetic waves.
The point where two liquids reach the same temperature and no more kinetic energy is transfered.
What is Thermal Equilibrium?
Produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.
What is Light Energy?
The amount of work a object can do because of the object's Potential and Kinetic energies.
What is Mechanical Energy?
The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.
What is Heat?
An increase in the size of a substance when the temperature is increased and heated up.
A form of energy that comes from a tiny amount of matter.
What is Nuclear Energy?
