Average Kinetic Energy

DEFINITION

Energy is what gives us the ability

to do stuff, to make things move, to
make things happen!
The temperature at which a solid
has enough heat energy to turn into
a liquid. Also used when liquids
lose enough heat energy to become
a solid (AKA, Freezing Point).
A measure of the average kinetic
energy of all the particles in an
object.
Takes place when energy changes
from one form into another form.
When the average kinetic energy of
a substances particles increase, the
temperature increases. When the
average kinetic energy of a
substances particles decrease, the
temperature decreases.
Energy caused by the movement of
electrons from one area to another.
Most commonly used to power
appliances and electronics. Also
includes lightning and static
discharges.
The energy transferred from an
object at a higher temperature to an
object at a lower temperature.
The temperature at which a liquid
has enough heat energy to turn into
a gas. Also used when gases lose
enough heat energy to become a
liquid.
The energy an object has due to its
position or chemical composition.
States that energy cannot be created
or destroyed. It can only change
forms.

21. Convection

The exchange of thermal energy

between matter. Radiation,
Conduction and Convection
Energy that an object has because it
is in motion.
The energy stored in chemical
bonds that hold chemical
compounds together.
Light energy is the movement of
photons (particles of light). Light
energy moves in a wave-like
motion as it travels. Changing the
waves length changes the type of
light.
Results from the vibrations of
particles.
The energy an object has due to the
motion of its molecules.
The sum of an objects kinetic
energy and potential energy.
A theory that states that all of the
particles that make up matter are
constantly in motion.
The transfer of energy by
electromagnetic waves.
The transfer of energy as heat from
one substance to another through
direct contact (touch).
The transfer of energy as heat by
the movement of a liquid or gas.
