Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Total kinetic energy of an object.

Front

What is temperature?

Back

Average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

Front

Which has a greater temperature: Glass A or Glass B?

Back

Glass B has a greater temperature.

Front

What does the size of an object affect when measuring thermal energy?

Back

The larger the object, the more thermal energy it has.

Front

Which object has the highest temperature: Iceberg, Ice cube, Sun, or Boiling pot of water?

Back

The Sun has the highest temperature.

Front

How is thermal energy transferred between objects?

Back

Through the process of heat transfer.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

Can two objects have the same temperature but different thermal energies?

Back

Yes, if they have different masses.

Front

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

Back

Its thermal energy increases.

Front

What is the SI unit of temperature?

Back
