What happens to the temperature of an object when it gains thermal energy?

Back

When an object gains thermal energy, its temperature increases as the kinetic energy of its particles increases.

What is heat transfer?

Back

Heat transfer is the process of thermal energy moving from one object to another due to a temperature difference.

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact with each other reach the same temperature, resulting in no net heat transfer.

How does heat transfer occur between two objects?

Back

Heat transfer occurs from the hotter object to the cooler object until both reach the same temperature.

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials, where faster-moving particles collide with slower-moving ones.

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density.

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, without the need for a medium.

What happens to the molecules in a substance when it cools down?

Back

When a substance cools down, its molecules lose kinetic energy, move slower, and the temperature decreases.
