Thermal expansion | is the expanding of matter when it is heated. |
Conductor | is a material that conducts heat well. |
Conductor example | A metal pot or most metals. |
Insulator example | coolers or a jacket |
Thermal Expansion Example | When a metal door gets stuck on a hot day. |
High specific heat | an object with this can absorb a lot of thermal energy without a great change in temperature. |
Particles Spread out | as thermal energy increases. |
Joules | how we measure specific heat. |
