what is temperature?
temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
how would you explain conduction thermal energy?
the transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter.
what are some common types of heating systems?
force air system, radiator system, electric heating system, and solar heating.
what is Katelynn's favorite color?
orange.
how are thermal energy and temperature related?
thermal energy is related to he total potential and kinetic energy and temperature has both potential and kinetic energy.
how would you explain convection thermal energy?
the transfer of thermal energy particles of a fluid move from one place to another.
how would you explain the 1st law of thermodynamics?
if the mechanical energy of a system in constant the increase in thermal energy of that system equals the sum of the thermal energy transfers into that system the work done on that system.
who is Katelynn's best friend?
Mackenzie Ingram.
what is the difference between thermal energy and heat?
thermal energy is related to potential and kinetic energy and heat only has one of those
how would you explain thermal radiation?
the transfer of energy by waves moving through space.
how would you explain the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
the energy spontaneously spreads from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
what does Katelynn play in the band?
Alto Saxophone.
how can you calculate the change in thermal energy?
q=m*c*ΔT
how do thermal conductors differ from thermal insulators?
a thermal conductor is a material that conducts thermal energy well and a thermal insulator conducts energy poorly.
how would you explain the heat engine?
a device that converts some thermal energy into mechanical energy.
which does Katelynn like better Marching Season or concert band?
Marching Band
how would you explain specific heat?
the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a material by one degree Celsius.
how are thermal insulators used to control the transfer of thermal energy?
it traps the heat so the energy transfers easier.
give an example of energy conversion (energy path).
sun-->solar panels-->house-->light.
how many times has Katelynn busted her head open?
