| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object | Temperature |
| 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: is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. | Thermal energy |
| Amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material 1oC | Specific Heat |
| Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter at a higher temperature and particles in matter at a lower temperature. | Conduction |
| 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 | Insulator |
| 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, work. | Thermodynamics |
| States that the increase in thermal energy of the system equals the work done on the system plus the added heat to the system. | First law of thermodynamics |
| State that is impossible for heat to flow from a cool object to a warmer object unless work is done. | Second law of thermodynamics |
| Device that converts thermal energy into work. | Heat engine |
| Heat engine that burns fuel inside the engine in chambers or cylinder | Internal Combustion engine |
