QuestionAnswer
a measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object temperature
an instrument that measures and indicates temperature thermometer
a measure of the kinetic energy of particles in an object temperature
the temperature at which molecular energy is at a minimum absolute zero
the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures heat
the transfer of energy as heat through a material thermal conduction
the movement of matter due to the differences in density that are caused by temperature variations convection
any movement of matter that results from differences in density; may be vertical, circular, or cyclical. convection current
the energy that is transferred as electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and infrared waves radiation
the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogenous material 1K or 1C in a specified way given constant pressure and volume. specific heat
a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system entropy
a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy heat engine
something that prevents heat to go somewhere insulator
something that allows heat to move conductor
What is the first law of thermodynamics? the transfer of energy neither creates nor destroys it (energy cant be created or destroyed)
what is the second law of thermodynamics ? energy transferred as heat always moves from objects w/ a higher temperature to objects with a lower temp.
what is the formula to change C to F? F = 1.8 x C + 32
What is the formula to change F to C? F - 32 / 1.8
What is the formula to change C to K? C + 273
What is the formula to change K to C? K - 273
What is the formula for specific heat? c = e/mAt
What is specific heat measured in? J/kg x k
What is the unit for energy? joules
What is the unit for mass ? kg
what is the unit for temperature? k
whats the formula for energy (specific heat)? e = cmAt
whats the formula for change in temp.? At = e/mc
whats the formula for mass? m = e / cAt

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
