chapter 6 Flashcards
2.potential energy
energy of a system due to the position
1.energy
the ability to do work ,positive scalar quantity meausred in joules
3.mechanical energy
energy of a system due to its position or motion
4.thermal energy
sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles in an object directly proportional to the temperature of a object
9.chemical energy
potential energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms that is released or absorbed during chemical reactions
10.nuclear energy
potential energy stored in an atom’s nucleus that is released and absorbed ;atom experiences nuclear fission ,fusion
11.mass energy
energy equivalent to matter itself
12.1st law of thermodynamics
law stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed ,only changed form
5.accoustic energy
transmission of energy through matter by the periodic motion of particles
6.electrical energy
ability to do work through the action of the electromagnetic force on and by electrical changes
7.magnetic energy
ability of a magnetic field to do work on magnetic objects and electrical charges
8.electromagnetic/radient energy
combined action of electrical and magnetic energies in the form of wavelike,radient energy ,called radient energy
