| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thermal energy | Kinetic energy an object's atoms or molecules possess or heat |
| Temperature | measurement of the average kinetic energy of an object's particles |
| Calorie | The amount of energy needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius |
| Thermal Capacity | The ability to store or absorb heat, also known as specific heat |
| Conduction | Transfer of heat by the collision of particles |
