What is energy?
The ability to do work or cause change
Name the 7 forms of energy we learned about?
Thermal, Chemical, Nuclear, Radiant, Sound, Mechanical, Electrical.
Difference between transfer and transformation
Transferring --> Transferring to something without changing form
Transforming --> Changing the form of the starting energy
Biggest difference between conduction and radiation.
Conduction --> in contact
Radiation --> no contact
What is Thermal Energy?
rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?
One is moving one is not.
