Energy cannot be___
Created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
Thermal Energy
Sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the particles that make up an object
Radiation
Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
Conduction
Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between the particles that make up matter.
Convection
Transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from one place to another.

Thermodynamics
study of the relationship between heat, work, temperature and energy.
States that if the mechanical energy of a system is constant, the increase in thermal energy of that system equals the sum of the thermal energy transfers into that system and the work done on that system.
First Law of Thermodynamics
States that energy spontaneously spreads from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Systems always move to more stable states, or states with uniform energy distribution.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Examples of First Law of Thermodynamics
Example: Increase temperature of your hands by warming them near a fire and by rubbing them together.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
examples
Example: Heat from radiator transfers to cat but not the reverse.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
___
the higher the thermal energy and the warmer an object becomes.
Explain how greenhouses work. What type of thermal energy transfer is occurring in a greenhouse? Use arrows to indicate how the energy is transferred from the sun to the plants inside the greenhouse image below.
Greenhouses use solar radiation to trap heat. Heat enters the greenhouse through its covering of glass or plastic and starts to warm the soil and plants inside. The warmed air near the soil begins to rise and is immediately replaced with cooler surrounding air that starts to heat up. This cycle raises the temperature inside the greenhouse more rapidly than the air outside, creating a sheltered, warmer microclimate.
A vacuum is an ___.A vacuum between the two outer walls of a thermos bottle___.t limits or reduces the transfer of energy between the bottle’s contents and its surroundings. This keeps the temperature of the contents of the thermos at its original temperature.
1.extremely good insulator
2. minimizes the transfer of thermal energy from conduction and convection.
If a piece of paper is placed between two colliding spheres as shown below, holes will be burned in the paper where the steel spheres meet. Describe all the transformations of energy between the two steel spheres and the paper.
After the spheres collide, the particles of matter in the spheres begin to vibrate faster which increases the thermal energy of the particles.
The force of the colliding spheres causes the thermal energy of the paper to increase, which burns the hole in the paper.
