What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from chemical energy to thermal energy.

Front

What is energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one object or system to another without changing its form.

Front

What happens to the energy type during an energy transformation?

Back

The energy type changes during an energy transformation.

Front

What happens to the energy type during an energy transfer?

Back

The energy type does not change during an energy transfer.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to its temperature.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position above the ground.

Front

What is chemical potential energy?

Back

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.

Front

How does temperature relate to molecular movement?

Back

The slower the molecules move in a substance, the colder it is.

Front

What is the relationship between thermal energy and the state of matter?

Back

The state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) is influenced by the amount of thermal energy present.
