Energy
Energy an object possesses by virtue of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
The first to imagine that all matter is made of atoms. He proposed that everything was made of tiny, indivisible particles.
Who was Democritus?
The smallest part of an element, composed of a nucleus of protons and neutrons and electrons
What is an atom?
The generation of electricity by damming water and allowing the water behind the dam to fall through a turbine generator system.
What is HYDROELECTRIC POWER?
The spatial separation between the peaks of a wave.
What is a WAVELENGTH?
Energy that is stored and can be released by conversion into a different form of energy.
What is potential energy?
Means indivisible in the Greek language.
What is an atom?
The variable used to quantify the amount of inertia in an object.
What is Mass?
Stored energy due to an object’s location in a gravitational field.
What is GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can sense with our eyes through the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet
What is the VISIBLE SPECTRUM?
Holds everything together and enables every process to happen.
What is Energy?
1803 English scientist who contributed to the atomic theory. He published the first fully scientific model. His theory included the idea that everything was made of indivisible atoms combined together in whole-number ratios.
Who is John Dalton?
Anything that has mass and volume.
What is Matter?
The energy stored in the chemical bonds of a compound can be released by processes such as combustion or digestion
What is CHEMICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY?
The entire range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from long-wavelength radio waves to short-wavelength X-rays and gamma rays; includes microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation.
What is ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM?
An electrical property of all protons and electrons.
What is a charge?
What is the plum pudding model?
The center of an atom where the protons and neutrons are.
What is the NUCLEUS?
A single quantum of electromagnetic energy.
What is a PHOTON?
A semiconductor device that converts the energy in sunlight into electricity
What is a SOLAR CELL?
Where a lot of the energy of the universe is found. Leftover energy from the original creation event. (CMB)
What is Cosmic Microwave Background?
English scientist who discovered the neutron in 1932.
The variable used to quantify the amount of space an object takes up.
What is Volume?
A nuclear reaction in which two hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together to form a helium nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
What is FUSION?
Waves (or photons) of pure energy at any wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum
What is ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION?
