Thermal Energy

What is Thermal energy?

• The movement of particles/atoms

• The movement of air

• The flow of elements from one area to another

Thermal energy increases as (blank) increases

Give another name for Thermal energy

Thermal energy moves from

• Cooler to warmer areas

• Warmer to cooler areas

• Lukewarm to freezing

Thermal energy continues to be transferred from one object to another until

• One is hotter

• One is colder

• Both have the same temperature

• They are lukewarm

The amount of thermal energy transferred from one object to another is dependent on

• The difference in object width

• The difference in object size

• The difference in depth

• The difference in temperature

When does the transfer of thermal energy occur?

• When objects have the same temperatures

• When objects have different temperatures

• When one object is about to explode

• When an object is overheated too much.

Conduction is the

• Transfer of heat by direct contact

• The flow of currents in a liquid or gas

• Process of thermal energy transfer that occurs through space

• The transfer of heat by particle collision

Conduction occurs easier in solids and liquids

• True

• False

Conductors don't conduct heat very well

• True

• False
