| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Thermal Energy | A system of that is the sum of all kinetic energies of its particles. |
| Average Kinetic Energy | The temperature of an object is directly related to this |
| Thermal expansion | Particles gain energy and can move away from each other |
| Electrical Resistance | A way to measure how well electricity is conducted. |
| Viscosity | The thickness of an object |
| Heat | The quantity of thermal energy that flows from one place to another |
| Conduction | When two objects of different temperatures touch, thermal energy moves from the hotter object to the cooler one |
| Convection | Thermal energy carried from one location to another by a fluid |
| Radiation | Thermal energy carried within a gas |
| Insulators | Materials that resist the flow of thermal energy |
| Heat Capacity | The relationship between the amount of thermal energy absorbed and the temperature change caused by this |
| Specific Heat | The heat capacity per gram of material |
