Front

How is heat transferred from tea to a spoon when stirred?

Back

Conduction.

Front

What is equilibrium in thermal energy?

Back

A balanced state in which a system is stable, such as when two samples are at the same temperature.

Front

What happens to the temperature of two pans when they touch?

Back

The bottom pan transfers kinetic energy to the cooler top pan until both reach the same temperature.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
