Thermal Energy

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

The total kinetic energy of the tiny particles that make up matter.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when the temperature increases?

Back

Pressure would be increasing.

Front

What is Energy Transfer?

Back

Movement of energy from one object to another.

Front

What occurs to water when left outside in negative degree weather?

Back

The water would change to a solid.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.

Front

Define Heat.

Back

The transfer of thermal energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference.

Front

What is the difference between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.

Front

What is a solid?

Back

A state of matter with a definite shape and volume, where particles are closely packed together.

Front

What is a liquid?

Back

A state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with particles that are close but can move past each other.

Front

What is a gas?

Back

A state of matter that has no definite shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.
