What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It is related to temperature and the amount of substance.

What happens to the temperature of an object when it gains thermal energy?

Back

When an object gains thermal energy, its temperature increases as the kinetic energy of its particles increases.

What is heat transfer?

Back

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object or substance to another due to a temperature difference.

What are the three methods of heat transfer?

Back

The three methods of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Front

Define conduction.

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials, where faster-moving particles transfer energy to slower-moving particles.

Define convection.

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density.

Front

Define radiation.

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, without the need for a medium.

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact with each other reach the same temperature, resulting in no net heat transfer.

How does temperature affect molecular motion?

Back

As temperature increases, the motion of molecules increases, leading to higher kinetic energy.

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, which increases with the speed of the object.
