Energy
2 things that makes thermal energy go up or down
temperature & mass
RMR stands for
resting metabolic rate
these substances allow heat to move easily through them
conductor
when a substance heats up, what do it's particles do?
expand
this type of heat transfer that allows heat to move through empty space
radiation
total kinetic energy in an object is called
thermal energy
insulators do what to the transfer of heat?
slow down or stop
the ability of particles to move faster without changing states is called
thermal expansion
heating a substance _______ thermal energy
adds
this type of heat transfer happens most often in solids
conduction
all matter is made up of these 2 things that are always moving
atoms & molecules
increasing mass does what to thermal energy?
increases
unwanted heat is called
byproduct (or waste product)
thermal energy is measured with a
thermometer
energy an object has because of its motion is called
kinetic
how is kinetic energy is measured
in calories
the measure of energy that we get from a food is called
calorie
a resource that is no longer formed today is called a
non-renewable resource
what happens to particles when they are heated?
they move faster
boiling water is an example of this type of heat transfer
convection
average thermal energy in an object is called
temperature
we used this item (as heat) to demonstrate heat transfer between students
bean bag
the ability to do work
energy
a substance that releases energy when it burns
fuel
stored energy is also called
potential energy
