- 10. energy that an object has because of its motion or its position
- 12. energy in the form of heat
- 14. the splitting of a nucleus of an atom into at least two other nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy
- 16. the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid
- 17. a disturbance caused by a vibration; waves travel away from the source that makes them
- 19. a change in the position of an object compared to another object
- 20. a temperature scale and the SI unit of temperature where the freezing point of water is 273.15 K and the boiling point of water is 373.15 K; one degree kelvin is equal to one degree Celsius
- 22. the energy an object has because of its motion
- 23. the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid
- 24. the transfer of heat energy within an object, or between objects that are directly touching each other, due to collisions between the particles in the objects
Down
- 1. the transfer of heat from one place to another caused by movement of molecules
- 2. a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in a system, used to express thermal energy in degrees
- 3. the amount of energy that is stored in an object; energy that an object has because of its position relative to other objects
- 4. process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid phase to its gas phase, through the application of heat; conversion directly from solid to gas is called sublimation
- 5. electromagnetic energy
- 6. the energy released when the nucleus of an atom is split apart (during fission) or combined with another nucleus (during fission)
- 7. the process in which matter changes from a liquid to a gas
- 8. energy that does not need matter to travel; light
- 11. the transfer of energy from one organism to another through a food chain or web; or the transfer of energy from one object or another, such as heat energy
- 13. the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas
- 15. to turn a gas into a liquid
- 18. the temperature at which all particles stop moving, molecules stop vibrating
- 21. a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to produce more massive nuclei resulting in the release of large amounts of energy
