Question
Answer
A theory that defined thermal energy as an substance that flowed from hot bodies into cold bodies.   caloric theory  
🗑
The flow of thermal energy from a hotter to a cooler object by direct contact.   conduction  
🗑
The flow of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of particles.   convection  
🗑
The amount of thermal energy an entire object must gain or lose to change its temperature 1 °C.   heat capacity  
🗑
The absolute temperature scale, whose theoretical zero point is absolute zero. Its single fiducial point is the triple point of pure water (273.16 K); one kelvin is the same size unit as one degree Celsius.   Kelvin scale  
🗑
The amount of thermal energy absorbed per gram as a solid melts (fuses) at its melting point. The same amount of heat per gram must be released to freeze the substance.   latent heat of fusion  
🗑
The amount of thermal energy absorbed per gram as a liquid vaporizes. The same amount of heat per gram must be released to condense the vapor to a liquid.   latent heat of vaporization  
🗑
Nuclear particles or electromagnetic waves that radiate away from their sources; a method of heat transfer through radiant(electromagnetic) energy.   radiation  
🗑
The amount of thermal energy needed to raise or lower the temperature of 1g of a substance 1 C.   specific heat  
🗑
A temperature scale with fiducial points at the freezing point (0 °C) and the boiling point (100 °C) of pure water at 1 atm of pressure.   Celsius scale  
🗑
A temperature scale with fiducial points at the freezing point (32 °F) and the boiling point (212 °F) of pure water at 1 atm of pressure.   Fahrenheit scale  
🗑
Law stating that every natural process proceeds toward a condition of lowest usable energy and highest entropy.   second law of thermodynamics  
🗑
A quantity of thermal energy that flows from one system to another   Heat  
🗑
The measure of the average kinetic energy in a material   Temperature  
🗑
The study of thermal energy, heat, and their useful applications.   Thermodynamics  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
