Key terms
The energy of motion
What is Kinetic energy?
The movement of fluids due to differences in density created by uneven heating
What is Convection?
What is Magnetism?
a region around a magnet or a moving electric charge where a magnetic force can be detected
What is Magnetic Field?
the relationship between potential energy and distance between object
What is potential energy increases as distance increases?
Stored energy that has the potential to do work
What is Potential Energy?
A form of energy that is produced by the flow of electric charge through a conductor
What is Electrical Energy?
converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
What is an Electric Motor?
This device converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
What is a Generator?
Two types of Magnets
What are Permanent and Temporary Magnets?
The amount of thermal energy(HEAT) an object contains
What is Temperature?
Name one step of the scientific method
YES
The relationship between kinetic energy and and speed
What is if you double the speed of an object, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four?
How do scientists communicate their findings?
What is publishing research papers in peer-reviewed journals, presenting at scientific conferences through talks and posters, and sharing information via online platforms like blogs and websites?
The relationship between kinetic energy and mass
What is as mass increases, kinetic energy increases proportionally?
Energy derived from the emission of radiation.
What is Radiant Energy?
This is the variable in an experiment that stays the same
What is a constant?
The difference between a parallel and series circuit
What is a series circuit the same amount of current flows through all the components placed in and parallel circuits, the components are placed in parallel with each other due to which the circuit splits the current flow?
a testable, proposed explanation for an observable phenomenon that is based on evidence
What is a Scientific Hypothesis?
Describe Current, Resistance, and Voltage
What is Voltage is the electrical or potential difference that drives the flow of charge. Current is the rate of flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (amps). Resistance is a material's opposition to the flow of current, measured in ohms?
Direct movement of energy from one molecule to the next
What is Conduction?
a complete and closed path around which a circulating electric current can flow.
What is circuit?
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another or transferred between systems
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
the variable that is changed in an experiment
What is an Independent Variable?
How to calculate Potential and Kinetic Energy
What is To calculate potential and kinetic energy, use the formula PE=mgh for potential energy and KE=1/2mXv2?
