Heat/Thermal energy/Temperature

Front

What is heat transfer by conduction?

Back

Heat transfer by conduction happens when two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object.

Front

What happens when two objects have different temperatures?

Back

Heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler one until they both have an equal temperature.

Front

What is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object called?

Back

Heat.

Front

What is heat transfer by radiation?

Back

Heat transfer by radiation happens when there is space that heat travels through in waves outwardly.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

Feet getting warm while in hot sand on the beach.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) where hot fluid rises and cold fluid sinks.

Front

What is temperature?

Back

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is, indicating the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object, related to its temperature.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What is an example of heat transfer by convection?

Back

The circulation of hot air rising and cold air sinking, such as in a boiling pot of water.
