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. |
