Thermal Energy - 6.9AB

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Thermal Energy   The total kinetic (motion) energy of tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes.  
🗑
Conduction   Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch.  
🗑
Convection   Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, more dense fluids.  
🗑
Radiation   The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles.  
🗑
Heat   Energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures; energy will continue to move in a predictable pattern from warmer site to cooler site until all sites have reached the same temperature.  
🗑
Convection Current   A circular movement of fluids caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluid and the falling of cooler, more dense fluid.  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Energy   Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form.  
🗑
Temperature   Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually Celsius or Fahrenheit).  
🗑
Energy   The ability to do work  
🗑
Substances   matter; a material of a particular kind or constitution  
🗑
Thermal Energy Transfer   The movement of heat from one place to another.
