Energy Transformations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Energy Transformation | The change of energy from one form to another |
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy through matter.l |
| Insulator | a substance that resists electric current or a material that resists the flow of heat. |
| Mechanical Energy | the sum of the motion (kinetic) energy and postion (potential) energy of an object or the parts of a mechanical system. |
| Thermal Energy | Thermal energy is the total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes. |
| Sound Energy | Sound energy is a form of energy that is made by vibrations and requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) in sorder to travel. Sound waves travel slower than light waves. |
| System | A group of interacting or interdependent elements forming a complex whole; for example, all the factors or variables in an environment or all the variables that might affect a science experiment. |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion. |
| Chemical Energy | A form of energy produced through reactions that occur in chemical compounds as they react to each other or to some action. |
| Electrical Energy | a form of energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor. |
| Light Energy | A form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space; part of the electromagnetic spectrum. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form |
