Temperature
What is the measure of the average Kinetic Energy of the particles that make up that object.
100
Thermal Energy
What is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of all the participles that make up that objects.
100
heat
What is the energy that is transferred between objects due to a temperature difference between those objects?
100
radiation
What is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves,such as light and microwaves?
100
Thermal Insulator
What is a material through which thermal energy moves slowly?
200
Hot or Cold
What is some descriptions of temperature?
200
Is the energy that could or will happen.
What is Potential Energy?
200
Specific heat
What is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature.
200
It sends off Radiatic waves of heat to the atmosphere and the atmosphere only lets some of the heat come threw
How does the sun heat the earth?
200
wood, fiberglass, and air
What is a good Thermal Insulator?
300
One degree of Celsius.
What is one Kelvin equal to?
300
Is the energy that is applied to the object.
What is Kinetic Energy?
300
joules
What is heat measures in?
300
absorbs reflects and transmits some of the energy.
What happens when radiation strikes a material?
300
Metals and other good conductors.
What is a poor Thermal Insulator?
400
They are moving fast.
How are the partials moving if the object is hot?
400
Because is the mass of a object increases the thermal energy has to increase.
How does the thermal energy depend on mass?
400
high
Does water have a high or low specific heat?
400
Because the particles in gasses are more spread apart then in a solid.
Why does radiation pass through gasses faster then a solid?
400
Rapidly from one place to another
In conductors, thermal energy moves how?
500
Kelvins
What is the measure that scientist use for temperature?
500
Temperature
Thermal Energy depends on?
500
low
Do metals have a high or low specific heat?
500
the type of material
The amount of energy that a material absorbs, reflects and transmits depends on what?
500
Climate Control
In the United States, about 50 percent of the energy used in homes is used for?
