thermal energy transfer Flashcards
Matter
something that takes up space and something that weights a lot
States of matter
Can be in different forms like in Gas,solid, and liquid.
Energy
the ability to do work
Kinetic energy
the energy of an object because of motion
Thermal energy
the total energy of all moving particles of an object
temperature
The average kinetic energy of the articles in a object
heat
the flow of energy from warmer places to cooler places due to difference in temperature
conduction
heat that transfers through a solid material by direct contract of particles
convention
the transfer of heat in a fluid gas or a liquid caused when hotter,less dense fluids rise up and is cooler,more dense then fluids sink
Radiation
transfer of heat through empty space by invisible electromagetic
rays
Thermal equilibrium
a higher temperature object to a lower temperature
insulator
Materials that don’t allow heat energy to pass through them
conductors
materials that allow heat energy to move through them efficiently
