Forms of Energy
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
True or False: Energy can transform into other forms of energy.
What is true?
Heat always moves from the __________ object to the __________ object.
warmer; cooler
These are the 3 states of matter.
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
This is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
What is temperature?
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position or composition.
What is potential energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Type of heat transfer that occurs through direct conduct.
What is conduction?
This is the order of the states of matter from highest amount of energy to lowest amount of energy.
What is gas, liquid, solid?
This is what will happen when the particles of a substance start to move faster.
What is the temperature will increase?
A roller coaster at the top of a drop is an example of this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
A person skydiving is an example of energy transformation between these two types of energy.
What is gravitational potential energy (GPE) into kinetic energy?
Type of heat transfer that occurs as warmer matter rises and cooler matter sinks.
What is convection?
This is the process that happens to a solid when you add energy.
What is melting into a liquid?
This is what will happen when the particles of a substance start to move slower.
What is the temperature will decrease?
Food is an example of this type of potential energy.
What is chemical energy?
A person eating a power bar before working out is an example of energy transformation between these two types of energy.
What is chemical potential energy into mechanical kinetic energy?
Type of heat transfer that occurs through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
This is the process that happens when you take energy away from a liquid.
What is freezing?
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound energy?
A person pushing a heavy rock is an example of this type of kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
A light plugged into an outlet is an example of energy transformation between these two types of energy.
What is electrical kinetic energy into thermal kinetic and radiant kinetic energy?
Explain how heat transfer occurs when ice is placed into a glass of lemonade. (Be specific and make sure to include the type of heat transferred involved.)
What is the thermal energy is transferred from the lemonade into the ice through conduction?
This theory states that the particles in solids, liquids and gases are always moving.
What is the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
The process of photosynthesis harnesses this type of energy to produce food.
What is solar energy?
