How does energy transfer occur between two objects?

Back

Energy transfers from the hotter object to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact no longer transfer energy to each other because they are at the same temperature.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of molecules when an object is heated?

Back

The kinetic energy of the molecules increases, causing the temperature of the object to rise.

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) caused by differences in temperature.

What is the effect of adding ice to a warm drink?

Back

The warm drink loses thermal energy to the ice, causing the drink to cool down and the ice to melt.
