Types of Energy Transfer Flashcards
the energy of the moving particles of
Thermal energy
A type of energy produced by vibrations of matter
Sound energy
The flow of themal energy from one substance to another
Heat
The transfer of themal energy between two objects that are touching
Conduction
The transfer of themal energy by flowing gases or liquid such as the rising of warm air from a heater
Convection
The transer of energy through space
Radiation
A material through which heat or electricity flows easily
Conductor
a material that slows or stops the flow of energy such as thermal energy electricity and sound
Insulator
Chemical energy is _________________energy
Potential
__________________reaction is needed to change potential energy into kinetic energy
Chemical reactions
____________________energy is energy that comes from the moment of charged particles
Electrical
Electrical energy is a type of ______________energy
Kinetic
_______________________energy is a type of energy carried by waves
Light
__________________energy gives off heat
Thermal
Thermal energy is a type of ______________________energy
Kinetic
______________________energy is the energy stored in the links between the tiny particles of the nucleus of the atom
Nuclear
_____________________and__________________make up the center of the atom

The center of the atom is called the _____________________
Nucleus
Nuclear energy is a type of ________________energy
Potential
Sound energy is a type of _____________________energy
Kinetic
_____________________is a fast back and forth movement
Vibration
_____________________________energy moves from an object with higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature
Thermal
Temperature is measured with a __________________
Thermometer
Conduction is when ________________travels from the warmer object to the cooler object
Heat
Convection is when heats transfers through a _______________________or_________________
Liquid gas

Radiation
Hots objects radiate heat and the electromagnetic waves they produce are called _____________waves
Infrared
The ability of a material to transfer heat is called a _____________________
Thermal conductor
_______________________are materials that conduct heat poorly
Thermal in sulators
