Energy

Front

What is temperature?

Back

Temperature is a measure of how fast the particles of an object move, reflecting the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of microscopic particles in an object.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work due to its position or state.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process by which particles spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Front

Describe the energy transformation in a flashlight.

Back

The energy transformation in a flashlight is chemical energy → electrical energy → light energy.

Front

What is heat?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.

Front

Explain specific heat capacity.

Back

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

What is an example of an energy transformation in a battery?

Back

In a battery, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
