Thermal Energy and Temperature

QuestionAnswer
Absolute Zero The temperature when there is no kinetic energy; kinetic energy is zero: 0 Kelvin
Entropy Measure of disorder; measure of the “quality” of energy; forces energy to flow warm to cool
Expansion-Thermal The phenomenon of substances changing dimensions with temperature change
Heat Energy that transfers because of temperature difference
Heat capacity The amount of energy per mass per temperature change; ability of a particular substance to accept energy
Heat capacity-water 1 cal/g/C-degree; the highest capacity of any common substance
Temperature Indicates the average kinetic energy of the substance
Temperature: Celsius 0 – 100; water freezes; water boils;
Temperature: Kelvin 0 K = absolute zero; no kinetic energy; same degree size as Celsius
Temperature: Fahrenheit 0 F near ice/salt water slurry; 100 F originally = body temperature
Thermodynamics Thermo = heat; dynamics = flow; flow of heat energy
Thermodynamics-1st Law Heat added = increase in thermal energy + work done by the system; Statement of energy conservation
Thermodynamics-2nd Law Heat flows from only warmer to cooler objects; Also states that entropy of the universe always increases
Thermodynamics-3rd Law Absolute zero is impossible to reach; Perfect order is impossible to reach

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
