States of Matter
The boiling point of a substance.
What is the point at which a liquid vaporizes into a gas.
The Energy that allows us to see.
What is Light Energy?
The energy of motion.
What is Kinetic energy?
Something that more easily allows for the conduction of thermal energy.
What are conductors?
The ability to do work.
What is Energy?
This state of matters particles do not move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.
What are Solids
The total energy of the particles that make up a substance. Responsible for heat transfers.
What is Thermal energy?
The energy something has because of its position or shape.
What is Potential energy?
Matter that does not allow the transfer of thermal energy.
What are insulators?
Has a definite shape and volume.
What are solids?
What state of matter has no definite shape or volume?
What are Gasses?
Energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of a substance.
What is Chemical energy?
Energy created by moving electrons.
What is Electrical energy?
The transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another through direct contact.
What is Conduction?
The unit we measure energy and work in.
What are Joules?
This is the amount of force exerted on a given area, also known as the number of collisions of particles against the inside of a container.
What is pressure?
Energy caused by an objects vibrations.
What is Sound energy?
Kinetic Energy plus Potential Energy.
What results because of the transfer of Thermal Energy.
What is heat?
What Gravitational potential energy depends on.
What is height and mass.
Superheated gas that conducts electric fields.
What is Plasma?
Energy found in the nuclei of atoms.
What is Nuclear energy.
The equation for Kinetic energy.
What is KE=(1/2)mv2 or KE=(mv2)/2
The measurement of the amount of thermal kinetic energy an objects particles have.
What is temperature?
What kinetic energy depends on.
What is mass and speed?
