Inv. 4 Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass and speed of the object.

Front

What happens to particles when they gain thermal energy?

Back

Particles move further apart as they gain thermal energy.

Front

What is an example of Contraction?

Back

Cooling air in a bottle so a balloon deflates.

Front

Which states of matter can be contracted or expanded?

Back

All three phases: solids, liquids, and gases.

Front

What is the state of matter where particles are somewhat close together and can slide past each other?

Back

Liquid.

Front

What is Heat Transfer?

Back

Heat transfer is the process of thermal energy moving from warmer objects to colder objects.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles in a solid?

Back

In a solid, particles vibrate in place and have low kinetic energy.

Front

How does temperature affect the kinetic energy of particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Front

What is an example of Expansion?

Back

Heating up air in a bottle so a balloon inflates.
