Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Transfer- WVMS

Front

What is the most common temperature scale used in the world?

Back

Celsius scale, where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

Front

Which has more total thermal energy: a small glass of water or a big jug of water?

Back

A big jug of water has more total thermal energy.

Front

True or False: The more particles (mass) an object has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.

Back

True.

Front

What type of heat transfer involves thermal energy traveling through space in waves?

Back

Radiation.

Front

What is temperature a measure of?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What happens to the thermal energy of an object when it is heated?

Back

The thermal energy increases as the particles move faster.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles; higher temperature means higher kinetic energy.
