Ch. 2 Vocab
Across
- 4. energy-stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles
- 6. measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material
- 7. transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another
- 8. transfer of thermal energy due to collisions between particles
- 14. energy resource-an energy resource that is available in limited amounts or that is used faster than it can be replaced by natural resources
- 16. energy resource-an energy resource that is replaced as fast as, or faster than, it is used
- 17. insulator-a material through which thermal energy flows slowly
Down
- 1. amount of energy used as a force moves an object over a distance
- 2. ability to cause change
- 3. transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves
- 5. energy-energy due to motion
- 9. disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 10. transformation-the conversion of one form of energy to another
- 11. transfer-the process of moving energy from one object to another without changing form
- 12. of conservation of energy-law that states that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed
- 13. movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature
- 15. conductor-a material through which thermal energy flows quickly
