temperature is a measure of the average Kinetic energy of all the particles in an object
100
what is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is total kinetic energy of all particles in an object.
100
Sum of objects position (potential) and motion (kinetic)
What is mechanical energy?
100
The nuclears of an atom is the source of nuclear energy.
What is Nuclear Energy?
200
what is Kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to it's motion
200
How is temperature measured?
Temperature is measured in Celsius which is mostly used by scientists, Fahrenheit which is most important in the U.S., and Kelvin which is used by physicists.
200
the average kinetic energy
What is temperature?
200
Kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles
What is sound energy?
200
Transfer of heat energy by direct contact.
What is conduction?
300
What is Potential energy?
Potential energy is energy an object has due to it's position, condition, and chemical composition
300
what intstrument do you use to measure temperature?
You would use a thermometer to measure temperature.
300
the total kinetic energy, the more particles the more of this
What is thermal energy?
300
transfer of energy through space
What is electromagnetic energy?
300
Transfer of energy by movement of a gas or liquid.
What is convection?
400
what is energy transformation?
energy transformation is when energy changes from 1 form to another.
400
What is the Kinetic theory of matter?
The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that all of the particles that make up matter are constantly in motion.
400
equal to the amount of energy needed to raise the temp of 1g of water by 1degrees celcius.
What is a calorie?
400
results from position or motion of charged particles
What is Electrical energy?
400
Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is Radiation?
500
What is the Law of conservation of Energy? (The LCE)
The LCE states energy cannot be created or destroyed.
500
How do particles move in solids, liquids and gasses?
Solid particles are held tightly together and vibrate in position, liquids slide and tumble over each other, and gas particles are far apart and move around quickly and collide.
500
The state of a substance depends on the speed of the particles, heating it can cause bonds to break or form and create a change of state.
How can heat effect the state of an object?
500
potential energy, formed by breaking and forming of bonds.
What is chemical energy?
500
poor conductor of heat such as wood, paper, or foam
