Question
Answer
Thermal Energy   the kinetic energy of moving particles of a substance or an object. The more of this energy, the warmer it is  
🗑
Temperature   a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object. Tne faster they move they higher the temperature  
🗑
Farenheit   the way temperature is given in the US. Water freezes at 32 degreees F and boils at 212 degrees  
🗑
Celsius Scale   water freezes at 0 (zero) degrees and boils at 100 degrees  
🗑
Heat   the transfer of thermal energy from warmer objects to cooler ones  
🗑
3 processes that transfer thermal enrgy   -conduction -convection -radiation  
🗑
Kelvin Scale   A scale that some scientists use because it starts at absolute zero  
🗑
Conduction   the transfer of thermal energy when 2 objects touch. When a warmer solid touches a cooler one, some of the warmer solid's thermal energy transfers to the cooler solid.  
🗑
Convection   the transfer of thermal energy through fluid. The fluid can be liquid or gas  
🗑
Radiation   the transfer of thermal energy as waves, example the sun or a microwave  
🗑
Conductor   Something that transfers heat well  
🗑
Insulator   Something that transfer heat horribly  
🗑
Thermometer   Something that measures heat  
🗑
solid -> liquid   malting point  
🗑
liquid -> solid   freezing point  
🗑
gas -> liquid   condensing point  
🗑
liquid -> gas   vaporizing point  
🗑
matter   something that has mass and takes up space
