7th Unit 4 Energy Transfer Review

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to do work when released.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food or fuel.

Front

Which type of energy is associated with an object's position?

Back

Potential energy is associated with an object's position.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is when you touch a hot stove and heat transfers to your hand.
