Energy
The ability to cause change.
Energy
Instrument used to measure temperature
Thermometer
Total kinetic energy in all the particles of a substance.
Thermal Energy
Material that transfers heat very well
Conductor.
With every energy transfer and transformation there is always some form of _______energy loss
Thermal
Energy of an object due to its motion.
Kinetic Energy
Measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Temperature
Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves
Radiation
Material that does not transfer heat very well.
insulator.
Wind, solar and hydro are this type of energy source.
renewable energy resource
Energy due to an object position, composition, or chemical makeup.
Potential Energy
Units that temperature is measure in.
Degrees
Transfer of heat energy from one object to another by direct contact.
Conduction
Energy can be transformed from one form to another but it cannot be create or destroyed is known as the______.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Type of rain that develops from sulfur and nitrogen pollutants in the air and can damage buildings and wildlife.
Acid Rain
The sum of an object potential and kinetic energy.
Mechanical Energy
Most used temperature scale around the world.
Celsius scale
Transfer of heat by air or liquid.
Convection
This type of energy is used up faster than it can be replaced
Nonrenewable energy resources
Objects that transfer energy back and forth but there is no change in heat are said to be in_______
Thermal Equilibrium
Take place when energy changes from one form to another form.
Energy Transformation
states that particles that make up matter are in constant motion.
All matter is made of particles
Particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of their container.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
A system that exchanges no energy with the environment is known as a ______system.
Closed
What is one major problem of Nuclear power?
Nuclear waste
This substance is the exception to thermal contraction because it expands when it freezes.
Water
