| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Q | heat transferred to a material |
| m | mass |
| c | specific heat value |
| (delta) t | change in temperature |
| cold | less kinetic energy |
| warm | more kinetic energy |
| heat transfer goes from | hot to cold |
| low movement = | low temperature |
| high movement = | high temperature |
| average kinetic energy | temperature |
| thermal energy of a system | sum of all kinetic energies of its partcales |
| heating or cooling | transferring particle kinetic energy |
| viscosity | measure of the resistance of liquids to flow |
| conduction | two objects of different temperatures touch |
| convection | thermal energy carried from one location to another by a fluid |
| heat capacity | relationship between the amount of thermal energy and temperature change |
| radiation | thermal energy that radiates from the source from the source outward |
| insulators | materials that resist the flow of thermal energy |
