Science Midterm Flashcards
Any moving object has…
KE
An object’s ke increases as its….
speed and/or mass increases
Any elevated object has…
GE
An object’s GE increases as its…
elevation and/or its mass increases
Energy can be converted/transferred from…
one type to another
Any deformed rigid object has…
Elastic energy
An object’s elastic energy increases as its…
deformation and/or its rigidity increases
Energy can be…
transferred between systems
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. If some energy appears to be missing it has…
either been transformed to a type that is not readily apparent or has been transferred to another system.
Every object has TE which is the…
the sum of the KE of all of the particles in the object that result from the particle’s random motion
An object’s TE increases as its…
Temperature and/or its mass increases
An object’s temperature increases as…
the particles of which it is composed move faster
Sound is associated with the…
coordinated back-and-forth motion of particles
When an object emits sound it…
loses some of its energy to the surroundings
CE is transformed into other types of energy during a…
Chemical reaction
