Thermal Energy - Unit 3 - Lesson 2 Ohio Science Fusion

Front

The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another that occurs in fluids (liquid or gases)

Back

Convection

Front

The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, like those of the Sun.

Back

radiation

Front

The TOTAL kinetic energy of all particles of an object

Back

thermal energy

Front

Movement of energy from one place or object to another.

Back

energy transfer

Front

The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.

Back

heat

Front

The AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles in a material.

Back

Temperature

Front

A cycle in which convection causes the rising of heated fluid and the sinking of cooled fluid.

Back

convection current

Front

A temperature scale in which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees. Used all over the world.

Back

Celsius

Front

How much matter fits into a space. Mass/volume

Back

Density

Front

This type of heat transfer happens when 2 things are in DIRECT CONTACT. Options: convection, radiation, evaporation, conduction

Back

conduction
