Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of motion.

Front

What happens when two objects at different temperatures touch?

Back

Heat transfer occurs from the hotter object to the cooler object.

Front

What is stability in a system?

Back

When something stays mostly the same over time.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher thermal energy due to increased particle motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its position or condition.

Front

What is heat transfer?

Back

The movement of thermal energy from one object to another.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front
