Thermal energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch, through the collision of particles without the bulk motion of the matter itself | conduction |
| A substance that allows heat or electricity to flow through it easily | conductor |
| Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and falling of cooler, denser fluid | convection |
| he ability of a system to do work required for changes to happen within a system | energy |
| The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperature | heat transfer |
| energy of motion | Kinetic energy |
| Anything that has volume and mass | matter |
| Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, and gas, also referred to as phases | States of Matter |
| The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles | radiation |
| A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole | system |
| Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees | Temperature |
| The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes | Thermal Energy |
