| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Measure of average kinetic energy |
| Thermal Energy | The sum of the kinetic and potential of all the particles in an object |
| Heat | Thermal energy that flows from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature |
| Specific Heat | The amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of a 1 kg of water by 1 degree celsius. |
| Conduction | the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter. Transfer of thermal energy by direct touch. |
| Convection | Transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from place to place. |
| Radiation | the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves |
| Insulator | A material in which heat flows slowly. |
| conductor | a substance which allows heat to flow easily. |
| Solar collectors | |
| thermodynamics | The study of the relationship between thermal energy, heat, and work. |
| First Law of Thermodynamics | States that the increase in thermal energy of a system equals the work done on the system plus the heat transferred to the system |
| Second Law of Thermodynamics | States it is impossibe for heat to flow from a cooler object to a warmer object. |
