Types of Energy
The ability to do work is this.
What is energy?
Energy transfer through touch.
What is conduction?
An object will do this with an increase of heat.
What is expand?
This allows heat to transfer easily.
What is a thermal conductor?
The total amount of energy in an object is the object's what?
What is heat?
The energy an object has based on position.
What is potential energy?
Energy transfer through currents?
What is convection?
A road with a bridge on it will do this if it is not designed with expansion joints.
What is buckle?
This does not allow heat to transfer easily.
What is a thermal insulator?
Which has more heat, an iceburg or a cup of hot tea?
What is an iceburg?
The energy an object has based on motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy transfer through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
This is what happens to molecues as an object cools.
They slow down and become closer together.
A copper pot is an example of what? A thermal insulator or a thermal conductor?
What is a thermal conductor?
The molecules in matter do this with an increase in heat.
Move faster and separate from each other.
Mechanical energy is this.
What is potential and kinetic energy combined?
Spaghetti rising and falling in a pot of boling water is an example of what type of heat transfer?
What is convection?
Look around the classroom, where is there evidence of thermal expansion?
What is in the bricks by the phone, you can feel the difference!
Plastic coating around your laptop cord is what, a thermal insulator or a thermal conductor?
What is a thermal insulator?
Heat transfers from hot to cold or cold to hot?
What is from hot to cold matter?
