Energy Test Review 2024

Front

What is conduction?

Back

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

Front

What type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

In which direction does heat travel?

Back

Heat always travels from hot to cold objects.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases), such as water or air.

Front

How does temperature relate to kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature decreases when kinetic energy decreases.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is a metal spoon getting hot when placed in a pot of boiling water.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

An example of convection is warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room.
