C.5 Heat, Temperature, and Thermal Energy Flashcards
What is heat?
Heat is a form of energy that flows from hot to cold
what is temperature?
the measure of the amount of energy
What is thermal energy?
A form of energy that transfers from high to low temperatures
what is kinetic energy?
the energy of movement
How do temperature and kinetic energy relate?
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
how does thermal energy and kinetic energy relate?
thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance
If I have a pot of soup and I pour some of it into a cup will they have the same temperature?
Yes, you are pouring the same thing into the cup so they would have the same temperature
if you have a pot of soup and you pour some of it into a cup will the cup have the same thermal energy as the pot?
no, the cup has a lower thermal energy than the cup
What is the main difference between thermal energy and heat?
Heat is the flow of thermal energy from hot to cold
