Thermal Energy and Heat Transfer

Front

What happens to particles as they cool down?

Back

They slow down.

Front

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called?

Back

Temperature.

Front

Heat transfer occurs in which direction?

Back

Only from warm objects to colder ones.

Front

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

Back

Heat.

Front

As you touch a hot stove, the heat transfers from?

Back

From the stove to your hand.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The total kinetic energy of all particles in an object.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher average kinetic energy of particles.
