Work and Energy
Across
- 5. the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
- 8. the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
- 10. the energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object
- 12. the unit used to express power; equivalent to a joule per second (symbol, W)
- 14. a measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
- 17. a change of energy from one form of energy to another
Down
- 1. the temperature at which molecular energy is at a minimum. ____ zero (0 K on the Kelvin scale or 273.16ºC on the Celsius scale)
- 2. the amount of work an object can do because of the object’s kinetic and potential energies
- 3. a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact
- 4. the transfer of energy as heat through a material
- 6. the transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force
- 7. the energy of an object that is due to the object’s motion
- 9. the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
- 11. the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed
- 12. the transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force
- 13. the law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. ______ of energy
- 15. the capacity to do work
- 16. the unit used to express energy; equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of 1 N acting through a distance of 1 m in the direction of the force (symbol, J)
