Chapter 9 Energy Flashcards
Energy that depends on the position of an object or on the positions of an object’s constituent parts.
Potential Energy
The form of energy associated with motion. The kinetic energy of an object in motion is given by KE =1/2mass x speed2.
Kinetic Energy
A name given to the kinetic or potential energy of large, macroscopic objects.
Mechanical Energy
Energy hidden with in matter, manifest in temperature, burning or explosion.
Internal Energy
Energy stored in an object, with the potential to fall.
Gravitational Potential Energy
Energy = 1/2 mass x speed2
Kinetic energy at low speed.
energy = weight x height
Gravitational potential energy formula
Energy transferred to or from an object
Work
Total kinetic energy of random motion in material.
Thermal energy
Perpetual motion machine that keeps moving forever with no energy added.
Perpetual Motion Machine
Transmission of electrical charge or heat through a conduction medium with out motion
Conduction
Energy is moved by being stored in matter as internal energy, them moving matter from one place to another.
Convection
Energy is moved in the form of light or x-rays, gamma rays, microwaves…
Radiation
Energy associated with physical and chemical states of matter. Example: car battery
Chemical potential energy
Internal energy associated with stretching or compressing material.
Elastic potential energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
Nuclear potential energy
Depends on an object’s position.
