thermal energy Flashcards
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the total kinetic (motion) energy of the molecules that make up matter.
the faster the molecules move, the warmer the object is.
What is heat?
Heat is the movement of Thermal energy from one object to another.
What is Conduction?
Conduction is heat that goes through an object to another with direct contact
What is Convection?
The movement of heat that goes in a circular motion
What is Radiation?
Heat transfer through invisible waves
What is a Conductor?
Heat transfer that comes from an object to another with direct contact
What is an insalator ?
An object made with a material thats does not let energy transfer
What is Thermal Equilibrium?
When heat dose not transfer because two objects have the same temperature
What is the law of conservation of energy
The law is that energy can not be made or lost
