FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Particles Noun
[par-ti-kuls]
Back
Particles
The extremely small, constantly moving components that constitute all forms of matter in the universe.
Example: Gas particles move randomly in a container, showing constant motion and energy transfer.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Kinetic Energy Noun
[ki-net-ik en-er-jee]
Back
Kinetic Energy
The energy an object or particle possesses because it is in motion; faster movement means more kinetic energy.
Example: A soccer ball moving fast shows kinetic energy as it travels.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Temperature Noun
[tem-per-uh-cher]
Back
Temperature
A quantitative measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance or system.
Example: The image shows how particle movement increases with temperature, indicating higher kinetic energy.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Conservation of Energy Noun
[kon-ser-vay-shun uv en-er-jee]
Back
Conservation of Energy
The scientific principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another.
Example: A swinging ball in Newton's cradle transfers energy to the next, showing energy conservation.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Energy Transfer Noun
[en-er-jee trans-fer]
Back
Energy Transfer
The process by which energy moves from one object or system to another, such as from a hot object to a cold one.
Example: Molecules in a hot area transfer energy to a cooler area, shown by arrows.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Collision Noun
[kuh-lizh-un]
Back
Collision
An event in which two or more moving bodies or particles exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.
Example: Two balls colliding with arrows showing direction to demonstrate energy transfer during a collision.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Conduction Noun
[kun-duk-shun]
Back
Conduction
The process of transferring thermal energy between particles of matter that are in direct contact with each other.
Example: Heating one end of a metal bar transfers thermal energy to the cooler end.
