The measure of the hotness or coldness of a substance; proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles within the substance.

The sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles within an object.

thermometric property

Any property that changes predictably with changes in temperature.

Movement of thermal energy from an area of higher temperature to one of lower temperature.

Movement of electric charge or thermal energy through an object or from object to object through direct contact.

Movement of thermal energy as fluids move.

Movement of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

A material through which thermal energy moves easily.

A material through which thermal energy does not easily move.

The energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree Celsius.

The study of thermal energy and heat and how they relate to work and other forms of energy.

first law of thermodynamics

The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transferred between objects or transformed; also known as the law of conservation of energy.

second law of thermodynamics

The law that states that energy can flow from a colder object to a warmer object only if something does work.

third law of thermodynamics

The law that states that entropy would be at its minimum value at absolute zero; therefore absolute zero can never be achieved.
