Thermal Energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids liquids and gasses when 2 substances of different temp touch |
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electric charred thermal energy through matter |
| Convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter less denser fluids and the falling of cooler denser fluids |
| Energy | The ability of a system to do work requires for change to happen within a system |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange between 2 object of different object of different temp |
| 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 of Electromagnetic waves subatomic particle |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by the thermal in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of a tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
