Unit 5 – Energy Vocabulary
Across
- 6. the speed of something in a given direction.
- 7. the moving of something from its place or position.
- 13. the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant, despite internal changes
- 16. the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
- 17. a force applied to an object that results in a displacement in the same direction
- 19. having been adapted to be suitable for a new purpose.
- 20. is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.
- 21. energy related to the position of an object
- 23. remaining in the same condition or state; not changing
- 24. the sum of potential and kinetic energy for an object
- 25. energy of motion
- 26. rate at which energy is transformed
Down
- 1. when work is done on an object, the kinetic energy of the object changes
- 2. a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature
- 3. unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI)
- 4. advanced or elaborated to a specified degree.
- 5. the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
- 8. occurring continuously over a period of time.
- 9. force in which the work done by the force is determined only by the displacement of the mass
- 10. quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter
- 11. the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues
- 12. is a measure of vertical distance, either vertical extent ,how "tall" something or someone is, or vertical position ,how "high" a point is,.
- 14. the capacity for doing work, may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms.
- 15. energy related to the stretch or compression of an object
- 18. the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second, corresponding to the power in an electric circuit in which the potential difference is one volt and the current one ampere.
- 22. is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center.
