the measurement of the average kinetic energy
temperature
heat flows from ______ to _______
warmer, colder
the transfer of heat energy from warmer to cooler temperatures until both objects have the same temperature
thermal equilibrium
which electromagnetic wave type has the largest wavelength
radio waves
How does a heavier mass affect the change in temperature
there is not as much change
How does a heavier mass affect the slope of your line
the lime is less steep
How does a heavier mass affect the amount of thermal energy
it creates more thermal energy
How does a lighter mass affect the change in temperature
there is higher change in temperature
how does a lighter mass affect the amount of thermal energy
there is less thermal energy
How does a lighter mass affect the slope of your line
the line becomes more steep
what 3 things affect the amount of thermal energy
mass, specific heat, the change in temperature
