mass and speed/velocity
300
What are the three ways heat is transferred?
Conduction, convection, radiation
300
What is convection heat transfer?
The transfer of heat through liquids.
300
Explain exponential growth.
Exponential growth is when a pattern of data shows a greater increase with the passing of time.
400
It is the stored energy or energy due to the position is known as what kind of energy.
potential energy
400
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
400
What is temperature a measurement of?
The average kinetic energy of the atoms in a substance.
400
What is conduction heat transfer?
Heat transfer through objects that are directly touching.
400
Give an example of energy conversion.
Any example where we start with one type of energy and it converts to a different type of energy. My example is the light switch (electrical energy) being turned on to turn on the lights (light energy).
500
What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy? Hint... As potential energy is decreasing...
As potential energy is decreasing, kinetic energy is increasing.
500
What is elastic potential energy?
Energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object.
500
How does heat move?
From hot to cold.
500
What is radiation heat transfer?
Heat transfer through waves.
500
What is a chemical reaction?
A process that creates new substances from existing substances.

700
Give an example of energy transfer.
Any example that shows the same kind of energy transferring from one object to another. My example: the energy from the basketball transferring to the tennis ball when dropping the two balls to the floor with the tennis ball placed on top of the basketball.
800
What is the difference between energy transfer and energy conversion?
Energy transfer is when the same kind of energy transfers from one object to another. Energy conversion is when one type of energy converts to a different type of energy.
800
Give an example of kinetic energy.
Any example where an object is in motion.
800
Explain the reason that water vapor goes through condensation.
The matter in gas form loses thermal energy (heat) and changes from a gas to a liquid.
