Thermal ENERGY Transfer Flashcards
study
What is Matter?
What is states of matter?
What is Energy?
what is kinetic energy?
the energy of a object.
what is thermal energy ?
what is temperature?
The average kinetic energy of the particles of a an object or substance.
what is heat?
The flow of energy from warmer places to cooler places due to the difference in temperature.
what is conduction?
conduction is the transfer of heat, through a solid material by direct contact of particles.
what is convection?
thee transfer of heat in a fluid (gas or a liquid) caused when hotter less dense fluids rise and cooler more dense fluids sink.
what is Radiation?
the transfer of heat through a empty space by invisible electromagnetic rays. No matter is required for the heat transfer to occur.
what is Thermal equilibrium?
Thermal equilibrium happens when heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature object until the two objects have a equal temperature.
what is conductor?
what is a insulator?
