Types of Energy
The energy of motion
What is Kinetic Energy?
Energy transferred between objects at different temperatures.
What is heat?
The ability to do work
What is energy?
When two things touch and become the same temperature
What is thermal equilibrium?
All the kinetic energy from random particles that make an object
What is Thermal Energy?
Transfer of thermal energy by direct contact
What is conduction?
The measure of the average kinetic energy in something
What is temperature?
Things that do not conduct thermal energy easily
What is thermal insulator?
The energy an object has because of its position
What is potential energy?
Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of liquid or gas
What is convection?
An increase of the volume of a substance because of temperature
What is thermal expansion?
Energy can only be transformed, it can not be created or destroyed
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The total energy of motion and position of an object
What is mechanical energy?
Transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
Things that conduct thermal energy easily
What is Thermal Conductor?
The only form of energy we can see
What is light energy?
