Front

Define thermal energy.

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance.

Front

What is specific heat?

Back

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1ºC.

Front

How does heat transfer occur?

Back

Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).
