1st Law of Thermodynamics
This is the relationship that is studied by thermodynamics.
What is the relationship between thermal energy, heat, and work?
This is energy that is transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.
What is heat?
This is the gradient that thermal energy moves in according to the second law of thermodynamics.
What is from high heat to low heat?
These are the three states of matter.
What are gases, liquids, and solids?
The first law of thermodynamics is synonymous with what other law?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up that object.
What is temperature?
What is from your hand to the ice cube?
This is heat transfer based on physical contact, or collisions.
What is conduction?
A non-isolated system transfers this across a boundary.
What is energy?
This is the equation to find specific heat.
What is Q=m(Tf-Ti)C
The energy source of a refrigerator to do work is provided by this.
What is an electric outlet?
This is the transfer of heat through empty space by electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
Thermal energy equals the heat transferred to the system plus this.
What is work done?
This is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of all of the particles that make up that object.
What is thermal energy?
This type of "energy mover" converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
What is a heat engine?
This is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of a fluid caused by uneven heating.
What is convection?
The total energy of an isolated system behaves in this way.
What is doesn't change?
Water has a high this because it can absorb thermal energy without a large change in temperature.
What is heat capacity?
This is how energy moves from cooler temperatures to warmer temperatures.
What is an energy mover?
Thermal Energy moves the slowest through gases making them the best this.
What is a thermal insulator?
