Thermal energy transfer

Question 1

Thermal energy

Answer 1

Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat.

Question 2

Temperature

Answer 2

the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.

Question 3

Heat Transfer

Answer 3

Heat transfer also referred to simply as heat, is the movement of thermal energy from one thing to another thing of different temperatures there are three different ways the heat can transfer conduction through direct contact convection through fluid movement or radiation through electromagnetic waves.

Question 4

Fahrenheit

Answer 4

denoting a scale of temperature on which water freezes at 32° and boils at 212° under standard conditions.

Question 5

Celcius
Kelvin
Conduction

Answer 5

It is the opposite way to tell want the temp is

Question 6

Convection

Answer 6

the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.

Question 7

Radiation

Answer 7

the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.

Question 8

Solid

Answer 8

firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.

Question 9

Liquid

Answer 9

a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.

Question 10

Gas

Answer 10

a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).
“hot balls of gas that become stars”

Question 11

Conductor

Insulator

Answer 11

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them. … Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

Question 12

Conservation of Energy

State (of Matter)

Answer 12

Law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy unless it’s added from the outside.
