QuestionAnswer
Heat flows from hot to... cold
What is an object's thermal energy? Heat
What is the Kinetic-molecular model? atoms, molecules, ions, and subatomic particles are in constant motion.
What is potential and kinetic energies together total internal energy. TE=KE+PE
When can thermal energy be measured? when it is being transferred to one system from another.
What is the sum of all kinetic energies of a system? Thermal energy
What is it called when molecules start moving more? Gaining kinetic energy
What happens when Gaining Kinetic Energy There is an increase of thermal energy and temperature
loss of thermal energy= falling temperatures
gain of thermal energy= rising temperatures
What tool is used to measure temperature a thermometer
Advantage of Kelvin scale NO negative values
celsius= 5/9 (Farenheit-32)
Farenheit= 9/5 Celsius+32
Thermal expansion Particles gain energy and move away from each other. This makes the object expand and get bigger.
Electrical resistance Measures how well electricity is conducted.
Viscosity the measure of resistance of liquids to flow.
Heat quantity of thermal energy that flows from one place to another
what does heat transfer through? Conduction, convection, and radiation
conduction two objects with different temperatures touch. The thermal energy from the hot object moves to the cool object.
What are two good conductors of thermal energy? diamonds and metals
What are two bad conductors of thermal energy? plastic and wood
What is convection? thermal energy carried by a fluid from one place to another
What is radiation? thermal energy that radiates from a source outward. like the SUN
Radiant energy can transfer what between two objects that are NOT in contact? Thermal Energy
Thermal energy needs what to move? Matter
Insulators materials that resist the flow of energy. ex: Styrofoam, glass, gases, and a vacuum
What is Heat capacity relationship between thermal energy absorbed and temperature changed because of it
Specific heat formula Q=mcT
Latent Heat of fusion is what? during a melting or freezing period, it is the amount of thermal energy exchanged per gram of material.
What is Latent heat of vaporization? amount of heat it takes to change a liquid into a gas.
Freezing substance changes from liquid to solid
Melting substance changes from solid to liquid
condensation substance changes from gas to liquid
vaporization substance changes from liquid to gas
sublimation substance change from solid to gas *never going through a liquid state
deposition substance changes from gas to solid *Never going through a liquid state
Triple point Temp and pressure where solids, liquids, and gases live simultaneously
critical point temp above which a substance is a gas regardless of pressure
freezing point temp where solids and liquids are in equilibrium freezing point
boiling point temp at which vapor pressure of liquid is equal the pressure of liquid
Anything past what point is a gas? The critical point

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
