Thermodynamics

1. Heat transfer due to direct contact (ex. pan heated on a stove)
4. Energy stored in the bonds of molecules (ex. Energy stored in food)
7. Energy that is stored in an object due to its position above the ground
11. system that allows the transfer of energy but not mass with its surroundings
12. Energy can’t be created or destroyed; it only changes form
13. Measure of the average kinetic energy
18. container that is used to study heat flow
19. The study of heat and its interconversions as it changes form
20. Process that releases heat
24. Energy from the sun
25. system that does not allow the transfer of either mass or energy
27. Unit of measurement for heat, abbreviation: J
28. Energy due to the movement of charges (ex. electricity)

2. Unit of measurement for heat, abbreviation: cal
3. everything outside of the system
5. Law of Thermodynamics - energy is conserved
6. Energy due to motion (ex. Apple falling on the ground)
8. Energy in the form of heat
9. Energy stored in the nucleus of atoms (ex. unstable nucleus splits to release radiation)
10. Energy transfer through space or matter in the form of waves (ex. heat from the sun)
14. device that measures changes in temperature
15. part of the universe being studied
16. Process that absorbs heat
17. Heat transfer by movement of a liquid or gas (ex. hot air rising, water boiling)
21. The capacity to do work, measured in units of Joules or calories
22. Unit of measurement for temperature
23. Measure of the total kinetic energy from high to low temperatures
26. system that can exchange mass and energy with its surroundings
