Science Flashcards
Light Energy
form of electromagnetic radiation
Electric Charge
physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field
Thermal Energy
produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
Chemical Energy
s stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules.
Solar Energy
light, heat, and other forms of energy given off by the Sun.
Radiant Energy
energy sent out in the form of electromagnetic waves Heat, light, and radio waves.
Conduction
transfers heat within a body or between two bodies that are touching.
Temperature
degree of hotness or coldness measured on a definite scale.
Vibration
periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles.
Conductor
re materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle.
Transfer
move from one place to another.
Insulator
a material that is a poor conductor (as of electricity or heat).
Kinetic Energy
energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.
Electricity
flow of tiny particles called electrons and protons.
Convection
a way in which heat travels.
Mechanical Energy
all the energy that an object has because of its motion and its position.
Heat
flows from hot objects to cool objects.
Reflection
the return of light or sound waves from a surface.
Energy Transfer
is the movement of energy from one location to another.
Sound wave
are vibrating forms of energy that are made of molecules and look like waves.
Radiation
energy that moves from one place to another.
Potential Energy
stored energy an object has because of its position or state.
