Thermal Energy

The sum of kinetic energy is

• The movement of thermal energy from a warmer to a cooler object is

What is temperature

• •  The average

  kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material.

• How hot something is

• What a thermometer measures

The Transfer of thermal energy between materials by the collisions of particles is

• Conduction
• Convection

• Radiation

A material through which thermal energy does not flow easily

is a material through which thermal energy flows easily.

The amount of thermal energy required to increase in temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1℃.

• Specific Heat

• Conduction

• Convection

• Thermal Insulator
