thermal energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solid, liquids, and gasses when two substances of different temerature |
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electrical change or transfers 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 requierds for changes to happen within a system |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Matter | Anything that has volume or mass |
| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solids liquids and gass also refer as to phases |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves of subatomic particles |
| 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 a thermomder (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 |
