What is nuclear energy?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from areas of _________ temperatures to ___________ temperatures.
What is higher to lower?
Turning on a microwave turns electrical energy into two other types of energy
What are radiant and thermal energy?
The solar cell we looked at today was an example of this type of energy resources.
What is renewable resources?
This has to happen in order to say that work has been done on an object.
What is the object has to move?
Kinetic energy due to the vibration of objects
What is sound energy?
Transfer of heat when objects are touching and within an object
What is conduction?
A speaker turns electrical energy into _______________ energy
What is sound?
I set this mixture on fire outside, releasing thermal, radiant, sound, and mechanical energy.
What is rocket candy?
Mechanical energy is the total energy of an object due to large scale motion and its position, so it is a combination of these two categories of energy.
What are kinetic and potential energy?
Energy of charged particles, can be kinetic or potential
What is electrical energy?
Measures the average thermal energy particles have
What is temperature?
A clothes dryer turns electrical energy to ________________ energy and thermal energy.
What is mechanical?
Mixing these two substances showed us that thermal energy can be turned into chemical energy
What are baking soda and vinegar?
Two identical markers are thrown by the teacher at different speeds. One of them will have more kinetic energy.
What is the one moving faster/at a higher speed?
Kinetic energy due to the vibration of particles
What is thermal energy?
Thermal __________________ is when two objects in contact reach the same temperature.
What is equilibrium?
A wind turbine turns mechanical energy into ______________ energy
What is electrical?
Mixing these two substances and watching the change in temperature was our first example of thermal equilibrium
What are water and ice?
There are two identical markers. One is sitting on the floor and the other is being held near the ceiling. One of them has more potential energy.
What is the one near the ceiling?
Potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms
What is chemical energy?
Transfer of heat when fluids (liquids/gases) mix
What is convection?
The type of energy stored in your food and turned by your body into thermal and mechanical energy
What is chemical?
This apparatus was made from alternating discs of copper, zinc, and salty cardboard, storing chemical energy.
What is a Volta pile?
Units used for energy/work
