Thermal Energy Flashcards
memorize
Thermodynamics is the study of the transfer of ______ Energy
thermal
1st Law: Energy is ________
Conserved
2nd Law: Thermal energy can ONLY move from _____ to _____ If _____ is done on the system.
Cold
Hot
Work
3rd Law: Absolute Zero (0 Kelvin)
________; even electrons!
All motion stops
Greater the Thermal Energy greater the _____ of the microscopic particles
motion
EQ: what is thermal equilibrium?
Heat/ Thermal Energy flows from ____ to _____ until thermal equilibrium is reached.
hot to cold
Thermal Equilibrium is whent he tempreature between two objects/ materials reach the same _________.
AKA…. they meet in the _______
Temperature
Middle
EQ: which direction does Thermal Energy & Heat flow?
As per the ___ Law of thermodynamics, Thermal Energy and heat only flows naturally from _____ to ____
Hot to Cold
Cold things gain ______
Energy
Hotter things lose ____ BUT Total energy is ______
Energy
Conserved
EQ: what are 3 methods of energy transfer?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction–>
transfer by contact
ex: burning yourself while cooking
Convection–>
Transfer by flow of a fluid such as air or water
ex: Hot air hitting you in the face when opening the oven, fan, central air.
Radiation–>
Transfer by EMR waves
ex: sun warming our atmosphere, warming hands by fire, microwave.
thermal insolator:
_________ Thermal Energy transfer but will keep thermal energy longer
