energy Flashcards
1
Q
work done
A
the amount of force needed to transfer energy
2
Q
equation for work done
A
force x distanced moved
3
Q
conduction
A
transfer of thermal energy in solids by vibrating particles
4
Q
convection
A
transfer of thermal energy in a liquid of a gas
5
Q
radiation
A
transferring thermal energy without the need of particles
- the hotter the object is = more radiation
6
Q
thermal conductivity
A
how well objects transfer energy by conduction
7
Q
convection current
A
the movement of heated fluids
8
Q
thermal equilibrium
A
when two objects of different temperatures are the same over time
9
Q
thermal insulator
A
a material that does not allow heat/electricity to pass through
- reduction of heat transfer
