Thermal Energy and Temperature
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter. | Conduction |
| Measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in the object. | Temperature |
| Sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of all particles in an object. | Thermal Energy |
| Thermal energy that flows from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature. | Heat |
| Amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of a 1 kg of material by 1 degree C. | Specific Heat |
| Transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from place to place. | Convection |
| Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. | Radiation |
| Material in which heat flows slowly. | Insulator |
| Asborbs radient energy from the sun. | Solar Collectors |
| Study of thermal energy, heat, and work. | Thermodynamics |
| The increase of thermal energy of a system equals the work done plus the transfered heat. | 1st law of thermodynamics |
| It's impossible for heat to flow from a cool object to a warm object unless work is done. | 2nd law of thermodynamics |
| Converts heat into work. | Heat Engine |
| Used in cars. Fuel is burned inside a chamber or cylinder. | Internal Combustion Engine |
