Science 8- Energy

AB
Work =force x distance
Light Energymotion of electromagnetic waves ex. sun through a magnifying glass
The hotter an object is the more ____________ energy it has.Kinetic
Kinetic Energyenergy of motion; when something is moving it has kinetic energy
Energythe ability to do work
Law of the Conservation of EnergyEnergy cannot be created or destroyed
Conductionheat transfer by means of direct contact between two objects; ex. metal bar on a flame
Absolute Zerolowest temperature theoretically possible- all movement of atoms stop; 0 Kelvin
Potential Energystored energy; not moving
Chemical Energybreaking bonds between atoms releases energy; ex. burning wood, food, gas
Convectionmovement of heat energy due to imbalance in gas or liquid; ex. convection current- air heating and rising, cooling and falling
Heat Energytotal kinetic energy
Radiationheat energy is emitted from objects (transfer of heat energy without touching)
