What is CHEMICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY?
100
Heat transfer through empty space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is RADIATION?
100
The unit of temperature on most laboratory thermometers.
What is DEGREES CELSIUS?
100
This law states that while energy can change forms, the total amount of energy is always constant.
What is THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY?
100
The energy that an object has due to its position or height.
What is GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY?
200
Energy transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves of light.
What is RADIATION?
200
Heat transfer in solids; occurs when one particle bumps into a neighboring particle.
What is CONDUCTION?
200
The SI unit of temperature.
What is KELVIN?
200
The rate at which an object moves, and its direction (this is related to the KE of the object).
What is VELOCITY?
200
The energy that an object has because of its motion or velocity.
What is KINETIC ENERGY?
300
The process of releasing energy by splitting the nucleus of an atom apart.
What is NUCLEAR FISSION?
300
Heat transfer that occurs when hot, less dense fluids rise and move heat with them.
What is CONVECTION?
300
A measure of the average kinetic energy (or motion) of the particles in a substance.
What is TEMPERATURE?
300
A device used to measure heat (an insulated container with a thermometer).
What is a CALORIMETER?
300
The form of energy that includes both the potential and kinetic energy of an object.
What is MECHANICAL ENERGY?
400
The process of combining the nuclei of atoms and releasing energy (like Hydrogen atoms combining to form Helium atoms in the sun).
What is NUCLEAR FUSION?
400
Type of material that does reduces or prevents the flow of heat.
What is INSULATION?
400
A measure of the amount of matter in a substance, which is related to the amount of stored potential energy in the particles.
What is MASS?
400
This is where the chemical potential energy that is stored in coal came from originally.
What is THE SUN?
400
This force causes all mechanical energy to eventually turn into heat energy.
What is FRICTION?
500
The form of energy that always flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.
What is THERMAL ENERGY?
500
Thermal energy, or heat, depends on both temperature, mass, and _____________.
What is SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY?
500
The measure of the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree (J/g C).
What is SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY?
500
The transfer of energy by applying a force through a distance (such as lifting or pushing an object).
