Thermal Energy Otto
This is only for people at North Ridge
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thermal Energy | the kinetic energy of moving particles of a substance or an object. The more of this energy, the warmer it is |
| Temperature | a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object. Tne faster they move they higher the temperature |
| Farenheit | the way temperature is given in the US. Water freezes at 32 degreees F and boils at 212 degrees |
| Celsius Scale | water freezes at 0 (zero) degrees and boils at 100 degrees |
| Heat | the transfer of thermal energy from warmer objects to cooler ones |
| 3 processes that transfer thermal enrgy | -conduction -convection -radiation |
| Kelvin Scale | A scale that some scientists use because it starts at absolute zero |
| Conduction | the transfer of thermal energy when 2 objects touch. When a warmer solid touches a cooler one, some of the warmer solid's thermal energy transfers to the cooler solid. |
| Convection | the transfer of thermal energy through fluid. The fluid can be liquid or gas |
| Radiation | the transfer of thermal energy as waves, example the sun or a microwave |
| Conductor | Something that transfers heat well |
| Insulator | Something that transfer heat horribly |
| Thermometer | Something that measures heat |
| solid -> liquid | malting point |
| liquid -> solid | freezing point |
| gas -> liquid | condensing point |
| liquid -> gas | vaporizing point |
| matter | something that has mass and takes up space |
