Chapter 5, Book 2, Section 1,2,3,4 Flashcards
A measure of how hot or cold something is specifically a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Temperture
An increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the temperature of the substance
Thermal Expansion
The temperature at which the molecular energy is at a minimum (0 K in the kelvin scale or -273’C on the Celsius scale
Absolute Zero
The energy transferred between objects that are different tempertures
Heat
The kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms
Thermal Energy
The transfer of energy as heat through the metal
Thermal Conduction
A material through which energy can be transferred as heat
Thermal Conductor
A material that reduces or prevents the transfer of heat
Thermal Insulator
The transfer of thermal energy by the circulation of movement of a liquid and gas
Convection
The quantity of heat required to raise and unit mass of homogeneous material 1 K or 1’C in a specified way given to constant pressure and volume
Specific Heat
The physical forms of matter which include solids liquids and gases
States of Matter
The change of a substance from one physical state to another
Change of State
A substance that reduces the transfer of electricity, heat and sound
Insulation
A machine that transform into mechanical energy or work
Heat Engine
A temperature in a body of water that is caused body that is caused by human activity and that has a harmful effect on water quality and on the ability of that body of water to support life
Thermal Pollution
