Energy



Energy is the ability to cause change or do work
Energy is everywhere!
Signs:
heat
Light
Sound
motion
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or
destroyed but can be transferred
from one form to another.
Thermal Energy

Thermal (heat) energy: The internal
energy of a substance due to the
movement or vibration of its atoms or
molecules. (heat)
Transfer of Energy

Energy transfer is the transfer of
energy from one object or material to
another.
Investigate

is a body of techniques for investigating
phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or
correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
Conduction

The transfer of energy by direct contact.
Convection

Convection, Conduction & Radiation
P: Definitions
Heat - is the flow of energy.
Heat always flows from an area with
higher temperature to an area with lower
temperature.
Temperature
Temperature- is the
measurement of the
average kinetic
energy of the
particles.
Radiation
Radiation is the transfer of energy
through electrometric waves in empty
space.
Conduction
Conduction is the transfer of heat by
direct contact of particles.
Convection
The transfer of energy through fluids.
