Energy and Thermal Energy Transfer

AB
Kinetic EnergyEnergy of motion
Chemical Potential energyEnergy stored in bonds between atoms
Elastic Potential EnergyEnergy stored when something is compressed or stretched
Gravitational Potential EnergyEnergy stored because of height
Formula for Kinetic Energy1/2 mass x velocity squared
Formula for Gravitational Potential EnergyMass x Gravity x Height
ConvectionEnergy transferred because of movement of particles in a fluid
ConductionThermal Energy transfer by direct contact of particles
RadiationThermal Energy transferred by electromagnetic radiation
Specific HeatThe amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 Kelvin
Formula for Thermal Energy Required for a temperature changeQ = mass x change in temperature x specific heat
