Question | Answer |
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material? | This is temperature. |
How does heat transfer? | Heat transfers from hot to cold. |
What is achieved when the temperature of materials that are in contact are the same? | Thermal equilibrium is achieved. |
What is the movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature? | This is called heat. |
What is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter? | Conduction |
Touching a hot stove or a pot warming from direct contact with a burner are examples of heat transfer through | conduction |
What is the thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves? | radiation |
Feeling heat waves from the sun or a fire are examples of | radiation |
What heat transfer is done by movement of the particles from one part of material to another? | convection |
The lava lamp, movement of ocean currents, and the movement of magma underneath Earth's crust are examples of | convection currents |
What is the change of state from a liquid to a gas | vaporization |
What is the change of state that occurs when a solid changes to a gas without passing through the liquid state? | sublimation |
What type of material allows heat to pass through quickly? | thermal conductors |
What type of material allows heat to pass through SLOWLY? | thermal insulators |
Rubber, plastic, and wood do not pass heat easily, they are all examples | thermal insulators |
Metals like aluminum and copper allow heat to pass through them easily, they are examples of | thermal conductors |
