PS.5 Energy

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself, typically occurring in solids.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, which can occur in a vacuum.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

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 an electric motor?

Back

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (kinetic energy).

Front

What is melting?

Back

Melting is the phase change from solid to liquid that occurs when a substance absorbs heat.

Front

What is boiling?

Back

Boiling is the phase change from liquid to gas that occurs when a substance reaches its boiling point.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid that occurs when a substance loses heat.
