Kinds of energy
Energy of an object due to motion
What is kinetic energy?
78%of earth's atmosphere is made up of this.
What is nitrogen?
Measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface.
What is air pressure?
A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
What is temperature?
Transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
The 3 things that make an object have potential energy.
What is position, condition, and chemical composition?
Earth's atmosphere is 21% made up of this.
What is oxygen?
This tool is used to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer?
The total kinetic energy of particles.
What is thermal energy?
Energy traveling from the sun in waves.
What are electromagnetic waves?
Energy due to an object's position, condition, or chemical composition.
What is potential energy?
The earth's atmosphere is 1% made up of these.
What are other gasses?
This has more air pressure.
What is warm air?
The increase in volume that results from an increase in temperature.
What is thermal expansion?
The transfer of energy through liquid or gas.
What is convection?
At least three forms energy can take.
What is (3 or more) Mechanical, sound, electromagnetic, electrical, chemical, thermal, and nuclear energy?
The atmosphere protects us from these.
What are sun rays and dramatic temperature changes?
This has less air pressure.
What is cold air?
Energy transferred between objects at different temperatures.
What is heat?
What are convection currents?
Another word for potential energy.
what is Stored energy?
The Earth's atmosphere is held to Earth by this.
What is gravity?
As you go higher in this, the air pressure will go down.
What is altitude?
Property of different rates of cooling or warming.
What is specific heat?
The transfer of energy through direct contact.
(Direct contact- When objects at different temperatures touch)
What is conduction?
