Book 2 Chapter 6 Flashcards
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 increases in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the temperature of the substance
thermal expansion
an increases in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the temperature of the substance
absolute zero
the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
heat
the kinetic energy of a substances atoms
thermal energy
the transfer of energy as heat through a material
thermal conduction
the transfer of energy as heat through a material
thermal conductor
a material that reduces or prevents the transfer of heat
thermal insulator
the trans fer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
convection
the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
radiation
the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material
the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material
the physical forms of matter which include solid liquid and gas
state of matter
the change of a substance from one physical state to another
change of sate
a substance that reduces the transfer of electricity heat, or sound
insulation
a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy or work
heat engine
