thermal energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids liquids, and gasses when two substances of different temperatures touch. |
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge or transfers thermal energy through matter. |
| Convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluid, and the falling of cooler, denser fluids. |
| Energy | The ability of a system to do work required for changes to happen within a system. |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures. |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Matter | Anything that has volume and mass |
| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: Solid, liquid, and gas, also referred to as phases. |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement f electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles. |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole. |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
