General Terminology 15B
The movement of thermal energy from an area of higher temperature to one of lower temperature
What is heat?
What the m stands for in the equation for measuring heat.
The measure of the hotness or coldness of a substance.
What is temperature?
On this scale water freezes at 32 degrees.
What is Fahrenheit?
When converting to this temperature, your answer does not have a degree for units.
What is Kelvin?
The movement of thermal energy from one object to another through direct contact
What is conduction?
What the T stands for in the equation for measure temperature.
What is temperature?
The sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles within an object.
What is thermal energy?
On this scale water boils at 100 degrees.
What is Celsius?
When converting from Celsius to Kelvin you add this amount to the original temperature.
What is 273.15?
A material through which thermal energy moves easily.
What is a thermal conductor?
The symbol for specific heat.
What is c (sp)?
Most liquids do this when temperature increases.
What is expand?
This scale was created based on absolute zero
What is kelvin?
What is the equation for converting Kelvin to Celsius?
T(c) = T(k) - 273.15
The movement of thermal energy as fluids move.
What is convection?
Used to represent the thermal energy transferred in Joules.
What is Q?
Any property that changes in a predictable way with changes in temperature.
What is a thermometric property?
On this scale water freezes at 273.15 degrees
What is kelvin?
What is the equation for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit?
T(f) = 1.8 T(c) + 32
The movement of thermal energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
The equation for measure heat.
Q = c m (delta) T
Thermal expansion is an example of this.
A one degree change in Kelvin is equal to a one degree change in this other temperature scale.
What is Celsius?
What is the equation for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius?
T(c) = 5/9 (T(f) - 32)
