Energy Flashcards
what are the 3 types of energy?
kinetic, potential, and radiant
kinetic energy
energy an object has because of its motion
KE=
(1/2)mv^2
potential energy
energy an object has because of its position with respect to a force
radiant energy
“light” energy
heat
the total kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
temperature
the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
larger and smaller amts of water at boiling = the same _____, diff. ______
larger and smaller amts of water at boiling = the same temperature, diff. amt. of heat (needed and possesed)
1 calorie = _____ joules
1 calorie = abt. 4.184 joules
one calorie
amt. of heat needed to raise 1g of water 1 degree celcius
kelvin starts at/equals zero at ______ because its _____
kelvin starts at/equals zero at absolute zero because its an absolute scale, not in degrees
absolute zero
lowest temp. theoretically possible; motion of particles (heat) stoped
K=
degrees celcius + 273
degrees Celcius=
K-273
F=
(9/5)C + 32
