Thermal Energy by Kilee Akers

What is a particle ?

• A particle is a type of wave in physics.
• A particle is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties.
• A particle is a form of energy that cannot be localized.
• A particle is a large object with no physical or chemical properties.

What is heat ?

• Heat is a type of solid matter
• Heat is a type of sound wave
• Heat is a form of light energy
• Heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms and molecules in a substance.

What is Thermal energy ?

• Thermal energy is the energy generated by the rotation of the Earth
• Thermal energy is the energy produced by the movement of tectonic plates
• Thermal energy is the energy created by the process of photosynthesis
• Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules.

What is conduction ?

• Transfer of heat or electricity through a substance without any movement of the substance itself.
• The process of heat transfer through the movement of particles in a gas
• The process of heat transfer through the movement of a fluid
• The process of heat transfer through radiation

What is Insulator ?

• An insulator is a material or device that does not conduct electricity or heat effectively.
• A tool for generating heat
• A material that conducts electricity very well
• A device used to measure electrical resistance

What is radiation ?

What is Convection ?

• Transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid
• The process of heat transfer through the movement of solid particles
• The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves
• The process of heat transfer through direct contact between two objects

Temperature ?

• How much hear or energy the object has

• Capital
• Population
• Color

Thermal expansion ?

• Expansion of a substance due to a decrease in temperature.
• Expansion of a substance due to a decrease in pressure.
• Increase in size of a substance due to an increase in temperature.
• Decrease in size of a substance due to an increase in temperature.

If _________________ is transferred from object A to object B, the thermal energy of object A decreases.
