Energy and Heat Review Flashcards
The ability to do work
Energy
A group of interacting elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole
System
Energy is stored in bonds of CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS.
Chemical Energy
Physical energy resulting from ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
Radiant Energy
Energy generated by the movement of ELECTRONS from one point to another
Electrical Energy
ENERGY from the temp of MATTER
Thermal Energy
The energy released during NUCLEAR FUSION or fission
Nuclear Energy
The energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion
Kinetic Energy
The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others. Stored Energy.
Potential Energy
Energy due to compression and stretching
Elastic Potential Energy
Kinetic and Potential Energy
Mechanical Energy
Energy due to stored energy and chemical bonds between atoms
Chemical Potential Energy
The degree of hot or coldness in an object has thermal energy. Or the average KE of the particles that make up the object.
Temperature
Hear required to raise the temp of the unit (1kg) of the mass of a given substance by a given amount (1 degree)
Specific Heat
2 objects at different temps touch each other and energy directly transfers HOT TO COLD
Conduction
