ENERGY

• what is specific heat capacity?

  The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.
• what is potential energy?

  any of the energy stores that rely on the position of the particle
• what is pressure?

  the force per unit area exerted on a surface
• what is internal energy?

  The total energy of a system, including both its kinetic and potential energy.
• what is specific latent heat?

  The amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature.
• what is kinetic energy?

  the store of energy due to motion.
• the average kinetic energy of particles is known as the...

  temperature
• what equation shows the amount of energy needed to increase the temp of a substance?

  change in energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
