What is energy?
Energy is what makes matter move or change.
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is total kinetic energy of all particles in that amount of matter.
What is a wave?
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another through matter or space.
What is viscosity?
The resistance of a liquid to flow.
What is potential energy?
It is stored energy that has the potential to move and change things.
What is temperature?
Temperature is average measure of kinetic energy.
What do transverse waves do?
Transverse waves will move the matter particles up and down at right angles.
What is the energy level of gas?
High
What is kenetic energy?
Energy of motion.
What are the three measurements of temperature?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
What do longitudinal waves do?
Longitudinal waves will move the matter particles left to right in the same direction as the energy.
What state of matter is most abundant in the universe?
Plasma
What are the four types of potential energy?
Gravitational, chemical, elastic and nuclear.
What is heat?
Heat is the movement of kinetic energy from hot to cold.
What are the four characteristics of waves?
Amplitude, wavelength, frequency and speed.
What is always moving?
Molecules
What are the five types of kenetic energy?
Mechanical, thermal, radiant, sound and electrical.
What are the three types of heat transfer and how do they work?
Conduction is heat transferred through direct contact.
Convection is when hotter material rises and more dense, cooler material sinks.
Radiation is heat transferred through waves.
What are the seven types of electromagnetic waves?
Radio waves, microwaves, infared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays.
