Temperature and Thermal Energy - Science Chapter 5

Energy is defined as:

• The ability to do work

• The process of respiration

• A type of matter

• A form of sound

Kinetic energy is:

• the energy possessed by a body due to its motion

• the energy stored in chemical bonds

• the energy an object has due to its position

• the energy released during a nuclear reaction

Potential Energy is:

• the energy stored in an object due to its position or state

• the energy of motion

• the energy released during a chemical reaction

• the energy produced by electrical currents

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that:

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

• Energy can be created but not destroyed.

• Energy can be destroyed but not created.

• Energy is always lost during transformations.

Temperature is defined as:

• The degree of hotness or coldness of a body

• The amount of matter in an object

• The speed at which an object moves

• The color of an object

Thermal energy is:

• the energy that comes from heat

• the energy stored in batteries

• the energy produced by sound

• the energy from moving water

Heat is:

• a form of energy

• a type of matter

• a kind of light

• a chemical element

Radiation is:

• the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles

• the process of heat transfer through direct contact

• the movement of fluids due to temperature differences

• the absorption of energy by a material

Conduction is:

• the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials

• the transfer of heat through fluids by movement of molecules

• the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

• the process of a solid turning into a gas without becoming liquid

Convection is:

• the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) by the movement of the fluid itself.

• the transfer of heat through direct contact between substances.

• the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

• the process of changing a solid directly into a gas.
