Heat
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids ,liquids,and gases 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 fluids and falling of cooler,denser fluids |
| Energy | The ability of a system to do work;required for changes to within a system |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange 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 phases |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent,or interdependent elements forming a complex |
| 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 |
