Front

We use Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) to measure ____________.

Back

temperature

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The total energy of all the particles in an object.

Front

How does temperature relate to kinetic energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles when they are heated?

Back

Their kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).

Front

What is the difference between kinetic energy and thermal energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement; thermal energy is the total energy of particles.
