Book 2 Chapter 6 Flashcards
a measure of how hot or cold something is
temperature
an increase in the size of a substance in responce to an increase in tempature of the substance
thermal expansion
the tempature at which molecular energy is at a minimum
absolut zero
the energy is transphered between objects that are at different tempatures
heat
the kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms
thermal energy
the transpher of energy as heat through a metal
thermal conduction
a material through which energy can be transphered as heat
thermal conductor
a material that reduces or prevents the transpher of heat
thermal insulator
the transpher of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
convection
the transpher of energy as electromagnetic waves
radiation
the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material 1 K or 1 degree C in a specified way of given constant pressure and volume
specific heat
the physical forms of matter, which include solid liquid and a gas
states of matter
the change of a substance from one physical state to another
change of state
a substance that reduces the transpher of electricity, heat, or sound
insulation
a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy, or work
heat engine
