What is Celsius
200
The transfer of thermal energy through a fluid
What is convection
200
When particles have no kinetic energy it is called...

What is Fahrenheit
300
The transfer of thermal energy through direct contact
What is conduction
300
It takes a lot of energy to boil water. This is because water has a relatively high _________________.
What is specific heat
400
When one form of energy is transformed into another, no energy is lost in the process Can also be said as: energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the law of conservation of energy
400
The form of energy stored in food

A form of energy that travels in waves and does not require a medium
What is electromagnetic energy
500
This is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of a set of particles
What is temperature
500
Energy is never created or destroyed...what force makes it so that machines are never 100% efficient? (some energy is always transferred as heat)
