Physics

Question 1

Energy =

Answer 1

The ability to do work (J or KJ)

Question 2

Kinetic energy =

Answer 2

Is the energy an object has due to its motion (J)

Question 3

Thermal energy =

Answer 3

Is the total kinetic energy of all of the atoms that make up
an object or system.

Question 4

Temperature =

Answer 4

Is the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up
an object or system.

Question 5

Heat =

Answer 5

Is the thermal energy that is transferred between objects or systems due to a temperature difference.

Question 6

Thermodynamics =

Answer 6

Is the branch of physics that studies the effects of heat,
energy and work on a system.

Question 7

first law of thermodynamics =

Answer 7

States that thermal energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed into other forms of energy or
transferred to other objects.

Question 8

Thermal equilibrium =

Answer 8

Describes two bodies that have the same temperature
and therefore no net thermal energy transfer.

Question 9

Velocity =

Answer 9

How fast an object travels in a certain distance

Question 10

Speed =

Answer 10

How fast an object travels in a certain period of time

Question 11

Distance =

Answer 11

How far an object travels

Question 12

Displacement =

Answer 12

Distance between an objects start and end points

Question 13

Acceleration =

Answer 13

Is the rate (time) of change of speed.
