- 6. A result of a force moving an object a certain distance.
- 7. Cell A device that converts light into electricity.
- 10. The ability to do work; types include heat, light, sound, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, electrical.
- 13. A unit measure of work.
- 15. The heat equal to 1/180 of the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.
- 16. Energy Energy associated with the flow of electrons.
- 18. Energy stored in the earth in the form of heat.
- 20. Effect The phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
- 23. Energy The energy possessed by a body as a result of its motion.
- 25. Energy Any source of energy that is limited and cannot be replaced when it is used, such as oil, coal, and natural gas.
- 26. Grid A system by which electrical power is delivered throughout a region.
- 28. Energy The use of flowing water from waterfalls and dams to produce electricity.
- 29. The ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it.
- 32. The process of controlling resources; for example, limiting soil erosion, reducing sediment in waterways, conserving water, and improving water quality.
- 33. Refers to the use of resources in ways that prevent their being depleted or permanently damaged.
- 34. of Conservation of Energy Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. There is a fixed amount of energy present in different forms that can be converted from one form to another, but energy does not go away.
- 35. Energy A resource that can be replaced when needed.
