Understanding Matter and Thermal Energy

Front

Energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures.

Back

This is the definition of heat.

Front

The total kinetic and potential energy of tiny particles that make up matter.

Back

This is the definition of thermal energy.

Front

In the form of heat from one object or system to another.

Back

This is how thermal energy is transferred.

Front

It causes particle motion, affecting temperature and state changes.

Back

This is the role of kinetic energy in matter.

Front

The temperature rises as particles move faster.

Back

This is what happens to the temperature when thermal energy is added.

Front

Characteristics like melting, freezing, condensing, and vaporizing temperatures.

Back

These are the physical properties of matter.

Front

Energy transfer can increase or decrease temperature, affecting state changes.

Back

This is how energy transfer affects temperature.

Front

Heat increases kinetic energy, causing particles to move faster.

Back

This is the effect of heat on kinetic energy.

Front

Increased thermal energy speeds up particles, warming the matter.

Back

This is the impact of thermal energy on particle speed.

Front

It cools down, and particles slow, potentially changing state.

Back

This is what happens to matter when thermal energy is removed.
