thermal energy transfer

Question 1

matter

Answer 1

any substance that occupies space and has mass

Question 2

states of matter

Answer 2

solid, liquid, gas, and plasma

Question 3

energy

Answer 3

heat, light, electrical energy, or mechanical energy

Question 4

kinetic energy

Answer 4

the energy of an object because of motion the word kinetic stems from the Greek word for motion.

Question 5

thermal energy

Answer 5

the total moving particles

Question 6

temperature

Answer 6

measures the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object or substance . it is like a speedometer for how fast particles are moving.

Question 7

heat

Answer 7

the transfer of energy

Question 8

conduction

Answer 8

the transfer of heat through a solid material by direct contact of particles

Question 9

convection

Answer 9

the transfer of heat in a fluid (gas/liquid) which is caused when hotter less dense fluids rise and cooler more dense fluids sink

Question 10

radiation

Answer 10

the transfer of heat through empty space by invisible electromagnetic rays.

Question 11

thermal equilibrium

Answer 11

it happens when heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until the two objects have equal temperature.

Question 12

conductor

Answer 12

materials that allow electrical current to flow through them easily.

Question 13

insulator

Answer 13

a substance which does not really allow the passage of heat or sound
