thermal energy transfer Flashcards
What are the states of matter?
The states of matter are solids, liquids and also gases.
what is the meaning of matter?
what is energy?
what’s the meaning of kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is the energy of an object because of motion.
what is the meaning of thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the moving particles of an object
what is the meaning of temperature?
temperature measures in the average of kinetic energy of particles of an object substance
what is heat?
heat is the flow of energy from warmer places to more cooler places due to the difference of temperature
what is conduction?
conduction is the transfer of heat of a solid material by direct contact of particles
what is convection?
Convection is heat transferring through fluids aka a type of gas or a liquid making the hotter and less dense fluids or rise up and the colder and more dense fluids to go down or sink
what is the meaning of radiation?
Radiation is heat transferring through empty space by electromagnetic rays and empty or no matter is required for the heat to transfer over
when does thermal equilibrium happened?
thermal equilibrium is when heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until they are the same temperature
what is the meaning of conductor?
A conductor is a type of material that lets heat energy go through greatly.
what is the meaning of an insulator?
Insulators are materials that don’t let heat pass though them unlike conductors. Insulators are used to keep heat in or out.
