Type of energy associated with a roller coaster going down hill.
kinetic
100
Type of energy that an object has because of its motion
Kinetic
100
The energy an object has due to its position.
Potential
100
Blankets earth and consists of several layers
Atmosphere
200
Type of thermal energy associated with a hot air popcorn popper.
Convection
200
second law of thermodynamics
The transfer of thermal energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
200
The sun's energy is transfered to earth by this type of thermal energy
radiation
200
The energy transfer from the sun to the earth.
radiation
200
Layer of atmosphere closest to earth
troposphere
300
Type of thermal energy associated why a metal spoon gets hot as it sits in a pot of boiling water.
Conduction
300
This type of thermal energy is transferred when particles move from one place to another.
Convection
300
A measurement of the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
temperature
300
The two types of energy used from the time you eat breakfast at home and arrive at school. Not potential and kinetic.
Chemical and Mechanical
300
The three layers that compose a soil profile.
A horizon, B horizon, C horizon
400
Energy associated with the transfer of heat.
Thermal energy
400
Type of substance where random molecules move the fastest.
Gas
400
Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy
Insulators
400
Substances that heat moves easily through.
Conductors
400
A glass of iced tea being warmed by your hand shows this type of thermal energy transfer
Conduction
500
It pulls at 9.8 m/sec^2
Gravity
500
The temperature scale that starts at absolute zero is ____, as opposed to the _____ scale which is based on the melting and boiling point of water.
Kelvin : Celsius
500
transfer of energy that occurs when an electrical lamp is turned on
electrical to light and thermal
500
energy can never be created or destroyed, just converted from one form to another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
500
true or false: a substance can change phase AND change temperature at the same time.
False. The energy added or removed is either kinetic or potential, not both. If kinetic, the temperature is changing. If potential, the phase is changing.
