Heat transfer
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electricity charge or transfer thermal energy through matter |
| Convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids |
| Energy | The ability of a system to do work: required for changes to happen within a system |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange between 2 object 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 as phases |
| Radiation | he transfer of energy by the movement of the electromagnetic waves or subtonic particals |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent element forming a complex whole |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer by 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 |
