Thermal Energy

The measurement of the KE of the molecules in an object

• Kinetic Energy

• Potential Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Mechanical Energy

Thermal energy that moves

• Heat

• Cold

When objects are at the same temperature and no heat flows

• Heat always flows no matter what

• Heat Equilibrium

• Thermal Equilibrium

Transfer of heat by direct contact of particles of matter

• Condution

• Convection

• Radiation

Transfer of heat by the motion of matter, such as moving air or water

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

Transfer of energy by infrared waves

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

A conduction is a material through which energy moves easily.

• True

• False

When the temperature of an object goes up, the kinetic energy also goes up.

• True

• False

Heated fluid is more dense than cooler fluid.

• True

• False

Matter that moves has potential energy.

• True

• False
