conservation of energy
when on a swig it is the energy at the swigs highest point
what is potential energy
the type of energy that is moving and has the potential to move
what is mechanical energy
anything people can use that comes from nature
what is a natural resource
transfer of thermal energy between particles of matter that are touching
what is conduction
transfer of thermal energy between objects that have different temperatures
what is heat
when jumping on a trampoline the jumper has potential at the top of the jump and has this type at the bottom
what is kinetic energy
when energy is stored in the bonds between atoms that make up compounds
what is chemical energy
hydro carbons formed by the dead organisms
what is a fossil fuel
transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid.
What is convection
what is specific heat
this type of energy is giving off when energy is used to over come friction
what is heat
when wood burns it releases this type of energy
what is thermal energy
resources that can be replaced
what are renewable resources
a current in a fluid that results from convection
what is a Convection current
device used to measure temperature
this law applies to energy conversion
what is the law of conservation of energy
most of this type of energy is produced by power plants and arrives home by wires
what is electrical energy
saving resources by using them more efficiently or not using them at all
what is conservation
materials that are good conductors of thermal energy
What is thermal conductors
SI unite for energy
what is joules
enrgy changes between these two types of energy
what is potential and kinetic energy
energy that the sun and other stars release into space
what is electromagnetic energy
when plants are harvested and ground up for energy
what is biomass energy
materials that are not the best at thermal conductors
What is thermal insulators
energy that always moves from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature
what is thermal energy
