Front

What is transfer?

Back

To move from one object to another or one place to another.

Front

How does the temperature of two touching cards change?

Back

Before touching, the top card is hotter than the bottom card. After touching, the top card transfers kinetic energy to the cooler bottom card until both reach the same temperature.

Front

What is a collision?

Back

The moment when two objects hit each other.

How is heat transferred from tea to a spoon?

Back

Through conduction.

Front

When two samples come in contact, where does the energy flow?

Back

From the warmer one to the cooler one.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front
