Unit 4/5 Review (Energy)

The transfer of thermal energy (heat) by direct contact (touching):

• Convection

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Nuclear Energy

Ability to do work, move objects or cause change:

• Energy

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Convection

Transfer of thermal energy (heat) by movement of particles in a circular motion (think heat rises, cool falls)

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Mechanical Energy

Transfer of thermal energy (heat) by electromagnetic WAVES, often through empty space:

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Energy

Energy due to motion of particles that make up an object; moves from warmer to cooler areas

• Thermal Energy

• Nuclear Energy

• Mechanical energy

• Radiant energy

Energy of an object due to MOTION and movement

• Mechanical energy

• Radiant Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Nuclear Energy

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom (caused by splitting of the atom)

• Radiant Energy

• Mechanical Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Nuclear Energy

Light energy that is caused by electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radio waves

• Radiant Energy

• Mechanical Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Nuclear Energy

Potential Energy is:

• Stored energy

• Energy of Motion

True or False:

The more potential energy you put into something, the more kinetic energy is released.

• True

• False
