Forms of Energy
The energy of electrical charges
Electrical Energy
As water flows down a waterfall, what kind of energy does it have?
Kinetic Energy
What is Temperature?
A measure of the level of Thermal Energy an object has (the average energy of each particle)
What is the freezing point of water in the CELSIUS scale?
0 degrees Celsius
An oven mitt has high Specific Heat. True or False?
True
Energy stored in chemical bonds
Chemical Energy
Before it falls off of a waterfall, water has what kind of energy?
Potential Energy
What is Thermal Energy?
The energy stored inside the particles of an object
What is Evaporation?
When the SURFACE of a liquid absorbs Thermal Energy and turns to gas
What does 0 degrees represent on the Kelvin Scale?
Absolute Zero
Kinetic or Potential Energy associated with motion or position of an object
Mechanical Energy
How do we define Potential Energy?
What is heat?
The transfer of Thermal Energy
When an object is melting, what is happening in terms of Thermal Energy?
The solid is absorbing Thermal Energy
What is the purpose of the Outer Tube of a Thermometer?
To protect the Inner Tube, and to magnify the Inner Tube
Energy of Light and Waves
Electromagnetic Energy
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is Absolute Zero?
The lowest temperature possible. The particles don't vibrate because there is no Thermal Energy in the particles at all
What is the official Scientific Term for when liquid turns into gas?
Vaporization
What is the boiling point of water in the FAHRENHEIT scale?
212 degrees Fahrenheit
The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Thermal Energy
List 3 Energy Transformations for lighting a match
Mechanical to Thermal (striking to friction)
Thermal to Chemical (friction to combustion)
Chemical to Electromagnetic and Thermal (combustion to light and heat)
Convert 113 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius
45 degrees Celsius
(Remember: The equation is C = 5/9*(F-32)
How can ice keep something warm?
When water turns to ice, it releases Thermal Energy. The Thermal Energy can then be released into another object, keeping it warm
What are the four Stroke Types in an Internal Combustion Engine?
Intake Stroke, Compression Stroke, Power Stroke, Exhaust Stroke
