Heat
Heat is...
the flow of energy from a warm object to a cooler object.
Energy is...
The ability to do work and make objects move.
Forms/types of energy include...
radiant, thermal (heat), chemical, magnetic, light, gravitational, nuclear, electrical, elastic, sound, and mechanical
Nonrenewable energy is...
a source that can only be used once.
Heat is generated by...
the sun, various types of fuel sources, and our bodies.
What causes heat energy?
It is caused by the movement of tiny particles called atoms.
Kinetic energy is...
Energy at work, measured in joules.
Forms of potential energy include...
Chemical and nuclear energy.
Renewable energy is...
an energy source that is able to be used more than once.
Thermal energy is...
1) Movement of energy from one object to another.
2) Found in conduction, convection, and radiation.
3) The faster the atoms move the hotter the object.
When two objects are in contact with each other and there is no exchange of heat energy, it is called...
Thermal Equilibrium
Potential energy is...
Work that is stored in an object.
Forms of kinetic energy are...
Radiant energy, heat (thermal) energy, and electrical energy.
Nonrenewable energy includes...
Coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear power.
Convection is...
the circular motion that occurs when a warmer liquid or gas rises, causing the cooler liquid or gas to move below.
How does particle theory relate to heat?
Point 4: Adding heat makes particles move faster.
Energy Transformation is...
A change from one form of energy to another.
Give an advantage of a specific renewable energy.
