chapter 9 of physical science notes

QuestionAnswer
Add the potential energies (PE) and the kinetic energies (KE) to get what? Total internal energy (TE) of matter.
What is thermal energy? Thermal energy is part of a system that is the sum of all the kinetic energies of its particles.
How can thermal energy only be measured? As it is transferred from one system to another.
What is transferring particle kinetic energy, the motion, called? It is called heating or cooling.
A loss of thermal energy is usually accompanied by what? Falling temperatures
A gain of thermal energy is usually accompanied by what? Rising temperatures
Temperature is measured in degrees by what? A thermometer
What is viscosity? The measure of the resistance of liquids to flow.
What is heat? The quantity of thermal energy that flows from one place to the other.
What is conduction? When two objects of different temperatures touch, thermal energy moves from the hotter object to the cooler one.
What is convection? Thermal energy carried from one location to another by a fluid.
What are insulators? Materials that resist the flow of thermal energy.
What is heat capacity? The relationship between the amount of thermal energy absorbed and the temperature change caused by this.
What is the latent heat of fusion? The amount of thermal energy exchanged per gram of material during melting or freezing.
What is the latent heat of vaporization? The amount of heat it takes to change the liquid to a gas.

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.
