Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroy just transform (under normal conditions)
Heat
Thermal energy that flows due to a difference in temperature Heat flows from hot to cold
Heat Transfer
A method by which heat flows (condition, convection, radiation)
Conduction
heat Transfer within or between solid objects
Convection
Heat transfer into or put out of fluids
radiation
Heat transfer due to packets of energy called photons that can travel through may substances even empty space
Incolater
A material through which energy (electric thermal or sound) cannot be easily transferred
conductor
a material through which energy (electric thermal or sound) can be easily transferred
Temperture
The measure of the average of all particles
Thermal Energy
The total energy of all particles in an object
