Energy
What is energy?
Energy is the ability to do work.
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is all the molecules in an object added together, or the total kinetic energy.
What is temperature?
Temperature is the average kinetic enrgy in an object. You add up all the molecules energy and divide them by however many molecules are there.
What is the law of energy conservation?
The law of energy conservation is that energy can't be destroyed or created, it is transferred, although, making oen object increaste in temperature and the other object decrease until they reach a steady state.
What are the three types of thermal energy?
The three types of thermal energy are radiation, conduction, and convection.
In science, what do we use for temperature? Celcius or Farenheight?
Celcius, because it is easier to use and gives accurate results!
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
The difference between potential and kinetic energy is potential energy, also known as stored energy, is energy that is held by an object because of its position relative to other objects. Kinetic energy is energy in motion.
The entire pan heats up when water is kept in a very hot pan. Which mode of heat transfer is responsible for this activity? Radiation, Conduction, or Convection?
It is convection!
If everyone outside turned on their conditioner, the air outside would get much hotter, true or false?
True!
What is the definition of transfer?
Move from one place to another.
Thermal energy is an example of what type of energy? Kinetic energy, Radioactive energy, or Mechanical Energy?
It is a type of Kinetic Energy!
In Celcius, what temperature does water freeze at?
0 degrees
To transfer heat from one object to another energy will keep decreasing until destroyed, true or false?
False, energy can't be destroyed!
When thermal energy rises in an object's its particles vibrate.True or False?
True!
What is absolute zero?
The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles that constitutes heat would be minimal.
