| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object. | Tempature. |
| Thermal energy that flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. | heat |
| sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object. | thermal energy |
| amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temp of 1 kg of a material 1C | specific heat |
| transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter at a higher temp and particles in matter at a lower temp. | conduction |
| transfer of thermal energy in a fluyid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from one place to another. | convection |
| transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves. | radiation |
| material in which heat flows slowly.` | insulation |
| device used in an active solar heating system that absorbs radiant energy from the sun. | solar collector |
| study of the relationship between thermal energy heat and work. | thermodynamic |
| states that the increase in thermal enrgy of a system euals te work done on the system plus the heat aded to the system. | first law of thermodynamics |
| states that is impossible for heat to flow from a cool object to a warmer object unless work is done. | second law of thermodynamics |
| thermal energy that flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. | heat engine |
| heat engine that burn fuel inside the engine in chambers of cylinders. | internal combustion engine |
