Amplify Thermal Energy Review

Front

What happens when two objects collide in terms of thermal energy?

Back

The warmer object transfers its energy to the cooler object.

Front

What is happening when a frozen Bubba-Burger is placed on a hot grill?

Back

The grill molecules are transferring energy to the Bubba-Burger.

Front

What occurs when hot and cold air come into contact?

Back

The hot air will lose kinetic energy.

Front

What does it mean when we say energy can't be created or destroyed?

Back

This principle is known as the law of conservation of energy.

Front

What is the average kinetic energy of molecules in a sample?

Back

It is a measure of the energy of motion of the molecules.

Front

Define thermal energy.

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Explain thermal equilibrium.

Back

Thermal equilibrium occurs when two objects reach the same temperature and no heat flows between them.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules also increases.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between materials.
