energy and heat transfer

Question 1

law of conservation of energy

Answer 1

Energy cannot be created or destroyed just transformed (under normal conditions)

Question 2

heat

Answer 2

Thermal energy that flows due to a difference in temperature. Heat flows from hot to cold.

Question 3

heat transfer

Answer 3

A method by which heat flows (conduction, convection and radiation)

Question 4

conduction

Answer 4

heat transfer within or between solid objects

Question 5

convection

Answer 5

heat transfer into or out of fluids

Question 6

radiation

Answer 6

heat transfer due to packets of energy called photons that can travel through many substances even empty space.

Question 7

insulator

Answer 7

a material through which energy (electrical,thermal or sound) cannot be easily transferred.

Question 8

conductor

Answer 8

a material through which energy (electrical thermal or sound) can be easily transferred

Question 9

temperature

Answer 9

The measure of the average speed of all particles.

Question 10

thermal energy

Answer 10

the total of all particles in an object.
