Word Warriors - Flashcard #11

Front

The sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work; energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both.

Back

mechanical energy

Front

To convert to one form of energy to another form (During any kind of this, some energy is lost to the environment. As a result of this loss, no machine is ever 100% efficient).

Back

transformed

Front

States that energy can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed. That means the total amount of energy always stays the same.

Back

law of conservation of energy

Front

The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion.

Back

potential energy

Front

A usually irreversible chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more substances in their chemical properties or composition, resulting in the formation of at least one new substance.

Back

chemical change

Front

To convey or remove from one place, person, or form to another.

Back

transferred

Front

Energy in the form of waves, especially electromagnetic waves. Radio waves, x-rays, and visible light are all forms of this energy; a form of energy that can travel through space.

Back

radiant energy

Front

The energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object (measured in joules) & (BTU)

Back

thermal energy

Front

The energy possessed by a system or object as a result of its motion.

Back

kinetic energy

Front

Energy released in a chemical reaction or absorbed in the creation of a chemical compound.
