Unit 6 Energy and Heat vocabulary

Energy Transformation

• The transfer of heat through a material
• Units of a temperature scale
• The process of energy changing from one form into another
• A material that transfers heat very easily

Efficiency

• A quantity, usually expressed as a percentage, that measures the ratio of work output to work input.
• The total kinetic energy inside a substance's atoms
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change forms
• A material that transfers heat very easily

Law of conservation of energy

• A theory that states all of the particles that make up matter are constantly in motion.
• A quantity, usually expressed as a percentage, that measures the ratio of work output to work input.
• The total kinetic energy inside a substance's atoms
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change forms

Degree

• Units of a temperature scale
• A measure of how hot or cold something is
• The transfer of heat through a material
• A quantity, usually expressed as a percentage, that measures the ratio of work output to work input.
