If I turn on the oven and the kitchen gets warm, this is an example of what type of heat?
Convection
Volume goes hand-in-hand with...
If I was cooking stir fry, what type of energy would I be using?
Thermal energy
Energy that is stored is known as...
What is potential energy?
If I wear a black shirt outside, I am more apt to be warm. Why?
All of the colors in the visible light spectrum are absorbed, which translates to heat.
Name the three main ways of thermal energy:
Conduction, Convection and Radiation
True or false: Sound is the only energy that travels in waves.
False- so does other energy.
A tornado would be an example of what main type of energy?
Kinetic energy (Mechanical)
energy caused by the movement of electrically charged particles is known as...
What is electrical energy?
When you move down the visible light spectrum, does the wavelength increase or decrease?
Decrease
What are three other ways heat can be achieved?
Fossil fuel, light or friction
Frequency is the number of complete cycles of what?
A wavelength
Name the three forms of potential energy.
What is gravitational, chemical, and elastic energy?
What are kinetic and potential energy?
As you move down the visible light spectrum, does frequency increase or decrease?
increase
How is fossil fuel used as a heat?
When they are burned they produce heat.
Describe the steps in which you hear sound.
1- vibrations pass through particles in the air
2- those particles move in wavelengths
3- they travel to your eardrum and vibrate it, causing sound.
