Energy Flashcards
(24 cards)
The energy of moving electric charges
Electrical energy
Energy required to bond atoms together
Chemical energy
The ability to cause change or to do work
Energy
Energy that comes from internal vibration of atoms and molecules
Thermal energy
Energy in the form of motion depending on the mass and velocity of the moving object
Kinetic
Energy that travels in transverse waves
Light energy
The total amount of kinetic energy
Mechanical energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear energy
A type of mechanical energy, the movement of the energy through substances in longitudinal {compression/rarefaction} waves
Sound energy
The speed and direction of a moving body
Velocity
Transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes and object move; measured in joules
Work
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another
Law of conversation of energy
Measure of how much matter is in an object
Mass
The state in which one objects distance from another is charging
Motion
Stored up energy, or energy held up in readiness
Potential energy
Energy in motion
Kinetic energy
Like a diver on a diving board or light bulb off position
Gravitational potential energy
1st baron kelvin 1824-1907
William Thomson
He discovered the principal on which this thermometer is based
Galileo thermometer
Formula KE
MVsquared/2 or 1/2 X mass X velocity squared2
The transfer of energy from one substance to the next
Conduction
The transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
Convection
The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
Radiation
Is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Temperature
