Amplify Ch. 1 Thermal Energy Study Guide (HMS)

Front

What happens to the temperature of an object if the particles increase in speed?

Back

The temperature will increase.

Front

True or False: Everything is made out of molecules (or atoms).

Back

True

Front

What does temperature measure?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average speed of the molecules of a thing.

Front

What happens to molecules when a thing gets hotter?

Back

The molecules are moving faster.

Front

What happens to molecules when a thing gets colder?

Back

The molecules are moving slower.

Front

What are things made of?

Back

Things are made of molecules (or other types of atom groups).

Front

Which sample has slower-moving particles: Sample A or Sample B?

Back

Sample A.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object.

Front

How does thermal energy relate to temperature?

Back

As thermal energy increases, the temperature of the object also increases.

Front

What is the relationship between particle speed and temperature?

Back

Higher particle speed means higher temperature.
