Changes in Energy
A turtle sitting on a rock is using this type of energy transfer.
What is conduction.
This is a reason for why a city is warmer than the country.
What is materials that absorb more thermal energy, like asphalt or metal.
What is Energy Transfer?
The type of energy used to power a windmill.
What is kinetic energy from the wind?
The energy transfer that happens when a person jumps into a pool.
What is the kinetic energy of the swimmer is transferred to the pool water?
The object that would have the most thermal energy if these objects had the same temperature is this. A nail, a spoon, a frying pan or a paperclip.
What is a frying pan?
How energy would transfer between these objects. Stove, air, water, pan.
What is the stove to the pan to the water to the air?
When energy changes from one type to another.
What is energy transformation?
These are all types of kinetic energy.
What are Sound energy, motion, electrical energy and thermal energy.
Energy transferred between a hockey player using her stick to hit a hockey puck.
What is the energy transfers from the hockey stick to the puck?
This is the reason that a large rock would have more thermal energy than a small rock of the same temperature.
A measure of how fast objects heat up. The higher the number, the faster the energy transfers.
What is Thermal Conductivity?
The average thermal energy of an object.
What is temperature?
These are all types of potential energy.
What is chemical and gravitational potential energy.
The energy transfer and transformations of a trampoline. (include two)
What is Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy, potential gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, elastic energy to kinetic energy, or kinetic energy to elastic energy?
A student would need to know these two things if they wanted to use a block of hot metal to increase the temperature of water.
What is the mass and temperature of the metal?
The goal of a thermos is to do this, in hopes of keeping liquids hot or cold for a long time.
What is Minimize Thermal Energy Transfer
This is a type of energy transfer that happens when two objects touch.
What is conduction?
The total kinetic energy of an object's particles.
What is thermal energy?
The reason for energy at the end of an experiment to be less than the energy before the experiment.
What is the reason for some energy is transformed into other types of energy?
The scientific meaning of heat.
What is the transfer of thermal energy from an object with more energy to an object with less thermal energy?
For a device to maximize thermal energy, we would want it to be one of these. (an insulator or a conductor)
What is a thermal conductor?
A set of interacting parts
What is a system?
This is the type of energy that transfers to a solar panel.
What is electromagnetic energy?
