Lesson 1
Energy related to motion
What is kinetic energy?
It occurs when energy changes from one form to another.
What is energy transformation?
This states that matter is made of very small particles that are constantly moving about.
What is the kinetic theory of matter?
The transfer of thermal energy as heat through a substance.
What is conduction?
The energy stored in the positions of atoms and molecules.
What is chemical energy?
Energy of an object due to its gravitational position
What is potential energy?
All of the things that are being studied.
What is a system?
The lowest temperature possible.
What is absolute zero?
Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
Potential energy that comes from the relative position of particles inside the nucleus.
What is nuclear energy?
1/2*mass*speed^2
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Everything outside the system.
What are the surroundings?
Two things in contact are at the same temperature and are not transferring heat.
What is the thermal equilibrium?
Heating by moving a mass os warm substance from a warm area to a cooler area.
What is convection?
Average mechanical energy of atoms or molecules.
What is thermal energy?
Energy an object has due to the result of gravity acting upon it.
What is gravitational potential energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Whether something is able to conduct heat or not.
What is thermal conductivity?
Woohoo! You get 400 points!
Good for you!!!
Kinetic energy if it is being used, potential energy if not.
What is electrical energy?
mass*acceleration of gravity*height
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
When energy moves from one place to another without changing form.
The heat required to change the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
What is the specific heat capacity?
Aww, you lose 500 points.
Go cry me a river.
What chapter of science are we on?
What is chapter 14?
