Pittman/ Matter Unit Study Guide

Explain the energy transfer of a candle as it burns.

• Chemical > Electrical

• Mechanical > Thermal

• Electromagnetic > Sound

• Chemical > Thermal

What is something that stores chemical energy?

• Tires

• Food

• Batteries

• Wood Table

Is Mechanical energy Potential Energy or Kinetic Energy?

• Potential Energy

• Kinetic Energy

When energy moves from one to another it is said to be

• Transformed

• Carried

• Stays the same

• Disappears

What type of energy does spinning turbines have?

• Mechanical Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Chemical Energy

• Nuclear Energy

Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of the matter itself in a process called

.

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Convection

• Convention

The total ENERGY of the movement of an atoms kinetic energy in a substance is called what?

• Mass

• Temperature

• Thermal Energy

• degrees

Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are

• closer together and move more slowly

• Further apart and move more slowly

• closer together and move faster

• Farther apart and move faster

In nature, hot air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink. this is behind the concept of convection heating that is used in ovens. Convection currents occur only in fluids such as liquids and gases but nit in solids which of the following is an example of convection?

• Rubbing your hands toghether

• Heating in a fish tank

• Basking in the sun

• Striking a match

A pendulum set in motion will eventually stops because

• the kinetic and potential energy are balanced

• the energy is destroyed

• friction transforms mechanical energy into thermal energy

• friction transforms mechanical energy into chemical energy
