Vocab Words Flashcards
Energy of a moving physical body
Kinetic Energy / KE = 1 2mv2
Energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects or stresses within itself, rather than its velocity
Potential Energy / W = m×g×h = mgh
Internal energy present in a system due to its temperature
Thermal Energy
Energy transfer process, or its amount (and direction), that is associated with a temperature difference
Heat
Physical property of matter that quantitatively expresses the common notions of hot and cold
Temperature
Phase changing into a solid to a liquid
Melting
the process of becoming hard or solid by cooling or drying or crystallization; “the hardening of concrete”; “he tested the set of the glue”.
Solidifying
Phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid
Freezing
Type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from its surface; surface phenomenon
Evaporation
Change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase; reverse of evaporation
Condensation
Transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state
Sublimination
Geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass
Deposition
