all about thermal energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the definition of conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when 2 substances of different temperatures touch |
| what's the definition of conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge |
| what's the definition of convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids amd by the falling of cooler, denser fluids |
| what's the definition of energy | The ability of a system to do work |
| what's the definition of heat transfer | The thermal energy exchange between 2 objects of different temperatures |

| what's the definition of matter | Anything that has mass |
| what's the definition of states of matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: liquid, solid, and gas |
| what's the definition of radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles |
| what's the definition of System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole |
| what's the definition of Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| what's the definition of thermal energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
