Energy Unit Review

1. A material that does not conduct heat well is called a(n)

Insulator

2. The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an

object is called

3. When generators are spun by turbines, they

Produce electricity

4. Heat, like work, is an energy transfer measured in

Joules

5. Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another

without the movement of matter itself in a process called
