Potential/Kinetic Energy
What is stored energy waiting to be used (like a stretched rubber band)?
Potential Energy
What state of matter maintains it shape and volume?
Solid
What is the total potential & kinetic energy in a substance?
Thermal Energy
What happens to any matter's molecules/particles if you increase its temperature?
Increases kinetic energy by having more molecule/particle movement.
When does heat stop flowing to something cooler?
When there temperatures are the same/equal/reach equilibrium.
What is energy in motion/movement?
Kinetic Energy
What state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Liquid
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy in a substance/matter.
Temperature
What is the melting/freezing point in water?
0 degrees Celsius
Which is a good type of conductor (metal, rubber, wood, plastic, or foam)?
Metal (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.)
How can you increase kinetic energy in matter/substance?
Increase thermal energy, increase temperature, and/or add heat
What state of matter has no definite volume and no definite shape.
Gas
What is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another?
Heat
What is the boiling point in water?
100 degrees Celsius
Which prevents the flow of heat (conductor or insulator) and what is an example?
Insulator (plastic, rubber, foam, wood, etc.)
If you hold a basketball above your head, is it potential or kinetic energy?
Potential Energy
What happens to a gas when thermal energy is removed?
Molecules/Particles slow down and come closer together. If enough thermal energy is removed, it will change to a different state of matter.
What are the 3 ways heat can transfer?
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
Which state of matter has the least amount of movement (solid, liquid or gas)?
Solid
This type of heat transfer travels in waves like the sun?
Radiation
What type of energy is it when a arrow is shot from a bow?
Kinetic Energy
What is it called when a state of matter goes from a liquid to a gas?
Vaporization/Evaporation
What type of heat transfer occurs when molecules within fluids (liquid/gas) move so that the warmer/less dense fluid rises and the cooler/more dense fluid sinks?
Convection
What is it called when gas loses enough thermal energy and transitions to a liquid?
Condensation
This type of heat transfer involves touching/contact?
Conduction
