Science
thermal energy
total energy
potential energy
enrgy in a apbject when it is still
when cooler
molecules move slower
energy is neither
less molecules
less thermal enegry
kinetic energy
amount of energy duw to motion
temperature
average kinetic energy
when in contact
they collide
energy increases on one side of a system
while decreases on the other side
less molecules
less kinetic energy
when moving faster
more kinetic enrgy
heat
Energy transferred due to energy difference
when collide
they transfer kinetic energy
stable state
equilibrium
more molecules
more kinetic energy
when moving slower
less kinetic energy
things are made of
molecules
when transfer kinetic enrgy
it goes faster to slower
when at equilibrium
molecules move at the same speed
difference between heat and temperature
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, indicating its hotness or coldness
total energy
thermal energy
when hotter
molecules move faster
hot to cold or cold to hot
hot to cold
more molecules
more thermal energy
3 main methods of energy transfer
conduction, radiation, convection
