100
The ability to do work.
What is Energy
100
Amount of matter or stuff in an object.
What is Mass
100
The energy contained within an object due to the movement of the molecules.
What is Heat
100
a resource that will eventually not run
What is Non Renewable energy
100
The flow of electrons through a conductor the build up of electrons (potential energy)
What is current electricity and static electricity
200
The energy contained within an object due to the movement of the molecules.
What is Heat
200
Energy in motion.
What is Kinetic Energy
200
The ratio of useful energy that is released compared to the total energy absorbed by the process.
What is Efficiency
200
A resource that has a supply that exceeds the demand.
What is Renewable Resource
200
The liquid or paste that chemically reacts with the battery terminals.
What is Electrolyte
300
A complete, uninterrupted path for electrons to flow.
What is Circuit
300
Stored energy.
What is Potential Energy
300
The process by which energy is transfered directly when two materials touch each other.
What is Conduction
300
The amount of energy required to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius. Calorie with a capital C is the food Calorie that you learned about in health class 1000=1 Calorie.
What is calorie and a Calorie
300
A material in which heat energy can NOT easily pass (examples: styrofoam, wood, wood shavings,fiber glass insulation, cardboard)
What is thermal insulator
400
The substances that chemically change in a chemical reaction.
What is Reactants
400
A type of potential energy that is created when an object is moved away from the earth.
What is Gravitational Potential Energy
400
The Movement of energy from one object to another. (examples: metal rods+nail=energy transfer, roller coaster wheels and the track).
What is energy transfer.
400
Solar energy in which there are no moving parts nor expensive equipment to buy this type simply involves simply using the sun to heat a space.
What is Passive Solar
400
A material in which heat energy can easily pass (examples:copper, aluminum, slate or other rock, glass)
What is thermal conductor
500
This solar energy type involves the transformation of light energy into electrical energy- this is done with a panel.
What is Photovoltaic Solar
500
Energy can not be destroyed or created only transfered and transformed.
What is Law Of Conservation of energy
500
The change of energy form one type to another (examples potential transformed into kinetic, BATTERY with chemical energy transformed into electric energy.
What is Energy Transformation
500
Two different metals that react with the electrolyte resulting in the flow of electrons (electricity).
What is Terminals
500
A device used to provide electrical energy. It is made up of chemical cells that generate a direct current through a chemical reaction.
