Heat Transfer
100
The study of heat.
What is Thermodynamics
100
When the rate of transfer of thermal energy between two objects is equal.
What is Thermal equilibrium
100
The transfer of thermal energy through empty space.
What is Radiation
100

Heat always travels from _____ to ____

hot to cold

200
In a hot body the particles move faster and thus have greater kinetic energy than particles in a cooler body
What is Kinetic-molecular Theory
200
A device that measures temperature. It relies on thermal expansion of a fluid in a sealed tube.
What is Thermometer
200
The amount of energy that must be added to raise the temperature of a unit of mass one temperature unit.
What is Specific Heat
200

What is the equation for heat transfer

Q = mct

300
The overall energy of motion of the particles that make up an object.
What is Thermal Energy
300
The temperature at which particles have zero kinetic energy. That is, particles stop moving. Its equal to -273 degrees Celsius.
What is Absolute zero
300
The transfer of thermal energy in a fluid.
What is Convection
300

What is the unit for Heat transfer

Joules

400
The hotness of an object. It represents the average kinetic energy of particles in a object.
What is Temperature
400
A temperature scale used by scientists to measure thermal energy.
What is Kelvin
400
A device used to measure changes in thermal energy.
What is Calorimeter
400

What is specific heat?

Heat required to change the temperature of a unit of mass of a given substance by one degree Celsius. 

500
The energy that flows between two objects as a result of a temperature difference.
What is Heat
500
The transfer of thermal energy when particles collide.
What is conduction
500
When atoms are in chaos.
What is Entropy
500
