Let's Move
the ability to do work
energy
the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance (movement of the atoms in matter)
thermal energy
any substance that releases energy when it burns
fuel
the tool used to measure temperature; usually measured in Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius
thermometer
Energy in motion
Kinetic Energy
heat transfer that occurs when particles bump into each other but do not change location
conduction
resources that are being used faster than they are forming
A substance that does not allow heat to move through it easily.
insulator
the transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another
heat
energy from the sun
solar radiation
fuels formed when the remains of plants and animals were buried quickly in the Genesis Flood
fossil fuels
stored energy without motion; based on position of an object
potential energy
a substance that allows heat to move through it easily
conductor
heat transfer that occurs when particles carry thermal energy as they move from one place to another in a circular motion
Convection
resources that can be replaced
renewable
the measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
temperature
heat transfer that occurs when there are no particles to carry the energy
radiation
the property in which a substance's particles may move faster and occupy a larger space due to an increase in temperature
thermal expansion
three types of fossil fuels
coal, oil, natural gas
three ways heat is transferred
conduction, convection, and radiation
