The energy of an object due to motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1o C.
What is a calorie?
What is a Conductor?
The instrument you use to find average Kinetic Energy.
What is a thermometer?
hydroelectricity, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass
What are renewable resources?
The ability to cause change.
What is Energy
Transfer of heat through contact.
What is Conduction?
Energy given off a heat or EM waves.
What is radiation?
Energy can not be created or destroyed, it only changes form.
What is the law conservation of energy?
When energy changes from one form to another.
What is Energy transformation?
An object that is not moving has this type of energy.
What is Potential Energy?
Transfer of heat through a liquid or gas.
What is convection?
Two objects have the same temperature but different thermal energies. How is this possible?
One object has more particles.
The temperature of matter depends on this.
What is average kinetic energy of its particles?
The three scales for temperature.
What is Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
The sum of PE and KE.
What is Mechanical Energy?
Total kinetic energy of a substance.
What is Thermal Energy?
The type of energy that is stored in food.
What is chemical energy?
The energy transferred from an object of higher temperature to one of a lower temperature.
What is heat?
The boiling point for K, F, C.
What is, 100o C, 212o F, 373o K?
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
What is temperature?
A poor conductor of energy.
What is an Insulator?
A pot of water on the stove undergoes energy transfer. What types of energy transfer are occurring?
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
Coal, oil, natural gas
What are nonrenewable resources?
The two ways heat is measured.
What is are calories and joules?
Explain the Kinetic Theory of Matter and how heat can cause matter to change state.
All particles are in constant motion and move at different speeds. Adding heat energy can increase the speed of the particles and cause melting, evaporation or sublimation. Removing heat energy can decrease the speed of the particles and cause freezing, condensation or deposition.
