Types of Energy
This form of energy is stored in the bonds between atoms.
What is Chemical Energy?
This is the process of changing energy from one form to another.
What is energy transformation?
This law says energy can't be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This term describes how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.
What is specific heat?
This form of energy is released or absorbed when chemical bonds break or form.
What is chemical energy?
The energy released in nuclear fusion and fission is called this.
What is nuclear energy?
Energy flows from a hot object to a cold object in this form of transfer.
What is thermal energy transfer?
This is the term for energy entering or leaving a system.
What is energy flow?
The curve that shows energy being added to a substance.
What is a heating curve?
These are the two types of nuclear reactions.
What are fission and fusion?
This energy travels in waves and includes visible light.
What is electromagnetic (light) energy?
This heat transfer happens through direct contact.
What is conduction?
The ability to do work is this form of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
The curve that shows energy being removed from a substance.
What is a cooling curve?
This kind of energy can travel through empty space.
What is electromagnetic energy (light/radiation)?
This form of energy is related to the flow of electric charge.
What is electrical energy?
Heat transfer through movement of fluid.
What is convection?
In what direction does thermal energy naturally flow?
What is from hot to cold?
This type of energy is related to the movement of particles in a substance.
What is thermal energy?
This type of energy results from vibrating particles.
What is sound energy?
A type of mechanical energy created by vibrations and traveling in waves.
What is sound energy?
Heat transferred through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
This is the process where energy is released or absorbed in a chemical reaction.
What is a chemical energy transformation?
This happens to particles in a substance as thermal energy increases.
What is they move faster (increase in motion)?
This happens when energy is neither lost nor gained, just changes form.
What is energy conservation/transformation?
