thermal energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transforms energy through matter |
| Convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter less dense fluids and the falling of cooler fluids |
| Energy | The ability of a system to do work required for changes to happen within a system |
| Heat Transfer | the thermal energy exchange through conduction and convection |
| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid liquid gas also referred to as phases |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or or 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 thermometer |
| 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 |
