  1. 1. To transfer srom one place to another
  2. 2. the sum of energy of the molecules making up a substance; for this unit it is used to mean heat
  3. 4. Temperature scale commonly used in the US in which the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees
  4. 9. a force that opposes motion
  5. 10. energy that flows from one object to another by virtue of a difference in temperature
  6. 12. A natural resource that can be easily replaced over a short period of time; renewable energy resources are wind, geothermal, solar, hydro power, and biomass
  7. 13. the energy contained in the nucleus of an atom; used commonly in reactors to produce heat, which can be used to generate electricity
  8. 14. the energy of motion
  9. 15. a device that changes mechanical energy into electricity
  10. 17. The process of energy moving from one place or object to another
  11. 18. the flow of energy from one place to another
  12. 22. A change where energy is absorbed; this is usually felt as a loss of heat from the surroundings or the feeling of cold
  13. 24. energy of place or position
  14. 28. the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius
  15. 29. the transfer of heat through fluids from a warmer spot to a cooler spot
  16. 30. A nuclear reaction that combines 2 atoms together to make a larger atom
Down
  1. 1. The energy stored in substances, the energy held in the atomic bonds that hold atoms to each other
  2. 3. A change where energy is released; that is usually felt as heat
  3. 5. the measure of the molecules making up a substance for this unit it is used to mean heat
  4. 6. Temperature scale in which the freezing point of water if 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees
  5. 7. states that energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change form or be transferred
  6. 8. to change from one thing to another
  7. 11. the ability to do work or make change
  8. 16. electromagnetic energy that travels in waves such as light, X-rays, and microwaves
  9. 19. energy stored in an object when force is applied, when stretched and compressed
