Vocab science Flashcards
A measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically a measure of the average kinetic enery of the particles in an object
Temperature
An increase in the sizr of a substance in resoince to an increase in the temperature of the substance
Thermal expansion
The temperature at which molecule energy is at a minimum
absolute zero.
The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
heat
The kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms
thermal energy
the transfer of energy as heat through a material
thermal conduction
a material through which energy can be transferred as heat
thermal conductio
a material that reduces or prevents the transfer of heat
thermal insolater
the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
convection
the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
radiation
the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogenous material 1k or 1 c in a specified wat given constant pressure and volume
specific heat
The physical forms of matter, which incluede solid liquid and gas
states of mattes
the change of a substance from one physical state to another
change of state
A substance that reduces the transfer of electricity, heat, or sound
insulation
A machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy, work
heat engine
