| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer | temperature |
| The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter | thermal energy |
| A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole | system |
| The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles | radiation |
| Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid,liquid, and gas; also referred to as phases | states of matter |
| Anything that has volume and mass | matter |
| Energy of motion | kinetic energy |
| The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures | heat transfer |
| The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system | energy |
| Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the cause of falling of cooler, denser fluids | convection |
| A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge or transfers thermal energy through matter | conductor |
| Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch | conduction |
