Front

Define conduction in terms of heat transfer.

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

Define convection in terms of heat transfer.

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

Define radiation in terms of heat transfer.

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, which can occur in a vacuum.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its height above the ground.
