Energy Flashcards
Thermal Energy
energy carried by a heat flow
Kinetic Energy
the energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system
Heat
the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures
Temperature
the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
Melting
becoming liquefied by heat.
Boiling
the action of bringing a liquid to the temperature at which it bubbles and turns to vapor.
Evaporation (vaporization)
phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor.
Condensation
change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase
Freezing
phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point
Solidifying (solidification)
the process when a molten liquid becomes a solid
Sublimation
transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state
Deposition
change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase
