thermal energy vocab
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solid liquid and gases. |
| What's a conductor | A substance that allows the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles in a substance, typically solids, without bulk motion of the material |
| What does convection do | Heat transfer caused by the bulk movement of fluids. |
| Define energy | The ability of a system due to higher temperature difference. |
| What's heat transfer | The thermal energy exchange of physical systems due to temperature differences |
| What is kinetic energy | Energy of object due to its motion. |
| What is matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space |
| What are the states of matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: water, ice, air |
| Explain Radiation | The transfer of energy moving in waves or particles. |
| Define system | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent parts that form a complex, unified whole designed to achieve a specific purpose |
| What's Tempuature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured reflecting the degree of hotness or coldness. (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| What is thermal energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes the faster its molecules move, vibrate, and collide, causing the material to expand (thermal expansion) and potentially change phase from solid to liquid or |
