Temp and heat
This physical quantity measures the hotness or coldness of an object or substance and is typically measured using a thermometer. What is this term?
temperature
This form of energy transfer occurs between objects of different temperatures and flows from hot to cold.
Heat
This fundamental principle of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
1st law of Thermodynamics
This phenomenon describes the increase in size or volume of a substance in response to an increase in temperature?
Thermal expansion
This property measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Specific heat
This principle of thermodynamics describes the natural tendency of systems to move towards higher entropy.
2nd Law of thermodynamics
This form of energy is associated with the motion of particles and is directly proportional to their temperature.
Kinetic energy
This mode of heat transfer occurs through direct contact between particles of different temperatures.
Conduction
This type of heating system operates by transferring heat through a network of ducts using a fan.
Heating system how it works
This unit of temperature measurement is based on absolute zero and is commonly used in scientific contexts.
Kelvin
This mode of heat transfer involves the movement of fluid particles, resulting in the transfer of heat.
convections
This method of harnessing solar energy involves capturing sunlight and converting it into heat for residential or industrial use.
solar heating how it works
This term refers to the total energy of a substance due to the motion of its particles.
Thermal Energy
This form of heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium.
Radiation
This type of heating system relies on a furnace or heat pump to distribute warm air through vents or ducts.
Forced air how it works
