In solid objects the particles are packed closely.
In which object type do the particles pack closely?

The three widely used units of measuring temperature are kelvin, fahrenheit, celsius.
What is the three units of measuring temperature?

The windmill converts wind energy into electrical energy.
What converts wind energy into electrical energy?

Potential energy is stored energy in an object.
What is stored energy in an object?
200
Insulators are poor conductors of heat.
What are Insulator?
200
The particles move slower when they are cooler.
Do particles move faster or slower when they are cold?
200
Kelvin is not measured in degrees. Both celsius and fahrenheit are measured in degrees.
Which measurement of temperature is not represented in degrees?
200
Chemical energy is in food.
What type of energy is in food?
200
Energy generated due to motion of an object is called kinetic energy.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Insulators have air pockets inside them and hence they do not conduct heat well.
Why do Insulators conduct heat poorly?
300
The hotter the particles moves faster than colder particles.
Do hotter particles move faster than colder particles?
300
Water freezes at zero degrees celsius and 32 degrees fahrenheit.
At what temperature does water freeze in celsius and fahrenheit scale?
300
The sun's energy transmits through radiation to the earth.
How does the sun's energy transmit to the earth?
300
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
400
Conductors do not have air pockets between the particles and hence the heat conducts well, where as in an insulator air pockets makes them conduct heat poorly.
Why do conductors conduct heat well and insulators wont?
400
Gaseous particles are loosely packed and also move freely all around.
What type of particles are loosely packed and move freely all around?
400
Absolute zero is the lowest measurement on the kelvin scale.
What is the lowest measurement on the kelvin scale?
400
Radiation travels through empty spaces.
Which type of energy travels through empty space?
400
Nuclear energy is the energy generated when atoms join or break apart.
What is nuclear energy?
500
Conduction is the transfer of energy from one substance to another substance due to direct contact in the form of heat.
What is conduction?
500
The kinetic theory of matter states that all matter is made up of constantly moving particles.
What is the kinetic theory of matter?
500
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles, where as thermal energy is the temperature of all the particles.
What is difference between temperature and thermal energy?
500
Conduction is when the energy transfers from one substance to another substance through direct contact in the form of heat. Convection is the transfer of energy through liquid or gas in the form of heat.
What is the difference between conduction and convection?
500
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Can energy be created or destroyed?
