Amplify: Thermal Energy Chapter 1 Review

Front

What happens when hot and cold air makes contact with each other?

Back

The hot air will lose kinetic energy.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to its temperature.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does temperature affect kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher thermal energy due to increased particle motion.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is a metal spoon getting hot when placed in a hot soup.
