What is the difference between temperature and thermal energy?
They both are the same
Temperature measures the average energy while thermal energy measures the total amount of energy
Thermal energy measures the average amount of energy while temperature measures the total amount of energy
Temperature is hotter while thermal energy is colder
Why does food coloring mix more in the 3rd cup than the 2 other cups?
The food coloring is less dense than water
The particles are moving slower in the 3rd glass
Each glass is the same taken over periods of time
The particles are moving faster in the 3rd glass

what are the functions of each heat transfer
Transfer of heat through waves
Upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cold air
Transfer of thermal energy from one object to another
The transfer of heat through a liquid
Transfer of heat through a substance
What is specific heat?
The total amount of heat needed
The average amount of energy in heat
The transfer of energy through waves
The total amount of energy that creates heat
What is the difference between conductors and insulators?
One raises the heat in a room, and the other cools a room
One that produces an upward movement of air, and the other produces a downward movement of air
One that absorbs light, and the other reflects light
One that allows heat to be transferred within the material, and the other that makes Thermal energy slow down
They both are the same

What is a heat engine?
(a)
How does a heat engine work?
Sparks from inside the engine ignite gas that goes inside the engine
It uses electricity to work
Pistons inside the engine convert thermal energy to mechanical energy
Electricity and gas convert the energy inside the engine into mechanical energy
