chapter 10.1 Flashcards
What is the kinetic molecular theory?
The kinetic molecular theory explains that all matter is made of particles.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of a particle or object due to its motion.
What are 3 ways that kinetic energy is measured?
temperature
thermal energy
heat
What is temperature?
The measure of average kinetic energy of all particles in a sample of matter.
What happens to the temperature when average kinetic energy increases?
temperature increases.
What are the 3 different scales temperature is measured on?
fahrenheit
celcius
kelvin
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the total energy of all particles in a solid, liquid, or gas.
The more kinetic energy… (thermal energy)
The more thermal energy
What is heat?
Heat is the amount of thermal energy that transfers from an area/object of high temp to low temp.
What are 3 ways that heat is transferred?
conduction
convection
radiation
What is conduction?
the transfer of heat from one substance to another.
What is convection?
the transfer of heat within a fluid, where the fluid moves form place to place.
What is radiation?
the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves that carry radiant energy.
What is radiant energy?
the energy carried by electromagnetic waves
What is one example of infared radiation?
when you stand close to a campfire and it emits electromagnetic waves.
