STEHN Temperature and Thermal Energy Flashcard

Front

Which method of thermal energy transfer involves the movement of fluids due to temperature differences in a pot of boiling water on a stove? Options: Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Insulation

Back

Convection

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of particles in a substance?

Back

As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

Explain how the kinetic energy of particles changes when a substance is heated.

Back

The kinetic energy increases.

Which of the following is an example of conduction?

• Heat from the sun warming your face.
• A metal spoon getting hot from a boiling pot.
• Warm air rising to the ceiling.
• A microwave heating food.

Back

A metal spoon getting hot from a boiling pot.

Front

Describe the process of radiation in thermal energy transfer.

Back

Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What happens to the particles of a substance as its temperature decreases?

Back

The particles move slower.
