Thermal Energy, Heat, and Temperature
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Measure of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms in an object |
| Thermometer | Measures temperature (Fahrenheit, Celcius, and Kelvin) |
| Fahrenheit Scale | Used only in the U.S. |
| Celcius Scale | Used world wide |
| Kelvin Scale | Used only by scientist, no degress sign |
| Fahrenheit to Celcius | F° ÷ 1.8 - 32 = C° |
| Celcius to Fahrenheit | C° x 1.8 + 32 = F° |
| Celcius to Kelvin | C° + 273 = K |
| Kelvin to Celcius | K - 273 = C° |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy due to movement |
| Potential Energy | Energy an object has due to its position |
| Thermal Energy | Kinetic energy and potential energy of all the atoms in an object |
| Heat | Process where thermal energy moves from hotter to cooler objects until equal temperature |
| Heat Transfer | (Conduction, Radiation, and Convection) |
| Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy by direct contact |
| Radiation | Transfer of electro-magnetic waves through space |
| Convection | The up and down movement of gases and liquids |
| Specific Heat | Amount of energy increases the temperature in Joules |
| Joule | What thermal energy and specific heat is measured in |
| Thermal Expansion | Liquid level rises as volume increased because of increased kinetic energy of particles |
