Heat investigation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| absolute zero | the temperature at which an object's energy is minimal |
| Conduction | the transfer of energy as heat between particles as they collide within a substance or between two objects in contact. |
| Conductor | a material through which energy can be easily transferred as heat |
| Convection | the transfer of energy by the movement of fluids with different temperatures |
| Heat | the transfer of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object |
| Heating System | a device that transfers energy as heat to a substance to raide the temperature of the substance |
| Insulator | a material that is a poor energy conductor |
| Temperature | the average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance; a measure of the average kinetic energy of all particles within an object |
| heat transfer | conduction, convection, and radiation |
| thermal energy | the total energy of motion in the particles of a substance |
| thermometer | a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contains liquid, usually mercury or colored alcohol. air temperature is measured with this. |
