Heat transfer
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is matter | Anything that has volume and mass |
| What is Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquid, and gases when two substances of different temperate touch. |
| What is Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge or transfer thermal energy through matter. |
| What is convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids. |
| What is energy | The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happened within the system. |
| What is heat transfer | The thermal energy exchange between two object of different temperate. |
| What is kinetic energy | Energy of motion |
| What are the states of matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid and gas; also referred to as phase |
| What is radiation | The transfer of energy by movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles. |
| What is System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole. |
| What is temperate | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| What is thermal energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes. |
