Energy Vocab Flashcards
the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
Energy
the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
Potential energy
energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
Kinetic energy
Balance of mind
Stability
An air like fluid substance which expands freely to fill any space available.
Gas
The heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount
Specific heat
It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume
Solid
The quality of being hot; high temperature
Heat
an organism, typically a biting insect or tick, that transmits a disease or parasite from one animal or plant to another.
Vectors
is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or weight.
Scalar quantity
Any move in change or position
Motion
the change of energy from one form to another. Energy transformations occur everywhere every second of the day. There are many different forms of energy such as electrical, thermal, nuclear, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and chemical.
Energy transformation
Large body of matter
Mass
The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
Friction
a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
Inertia
The overall force on an object.
Net force
The states in which matter can exist: as a solid, liquid, or gas. When temperature changes, matter can undergo a phase change, shifting from one form to another.
Phases of matter
To be absorbed
Absorbtion
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
Conduction
a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.
Conservation of energy
Supply of mechanical engery
Power
Strength of energy as an atravute of physical action or movement
Force
is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it.
Velocity
Increase in the rate or speed of something
Acceleration
It is a force that attracts any objects with mass
Gravitational force
is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
Mechanical energy
Is a fluid but still has volume
Liquid
The state of being insulated
Insulation
The engery that comes from heat
Thermal engery
Using a force to move an object a distance
Work
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.
Temperature
the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton’s laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
Gravity
The rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate
Speed
body’s relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
Weight
