What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. It is a key part of the water cycle.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In a solution, one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent).

Front

What is weather?

Back

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific area, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.

Front

What does it mean if something is less dense?

Back

If something is less dense, it means it is lighter than the fluid it is in, causing it to float.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which liquid water is transformed into water vapor, usually due to heat.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

What is runoff?

Back

Runoff is the flow of water, from rain or melting snow, that moves across the ground and into bodies of water.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock held at a height has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.
