What is Thermal Energy?

Transfer of something cold to something warm

Transfer of heat to something cold

How hot or cold something is

None of these

4

Thermal Energy is...

The transfer of heat from one object to another abject with less mechanical energy (kinetic energy)

5

What is Temperature?


6

Poll

Temperature is...

How much kinetic energy a molecule has

How hot or cold something is

How much a atom or molecule moves

All of these are correct

7

Temperature is...

  • All of these things

  • Remember to think of temperature in terms of a solid, liquid and gas water particle.

  • When water is ice "Cold" temperature the molecules don't move (less kinetic or mechanical energy)

  • When water is a gas "Warm" temperature the molecules move A LOT and bounce around (More kinetic or mechanical energy)
