What is Temperature?
Measuring Temperature
Thermal Expansion
Transferred Thermal Energy
Thermal energy Transfer and Temperature Change
100
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
What is temperature
100
This thin glass tube is used to measure temperature.
What is a thermometer
100
In hot weather, this can cause the concrete in a bridge to increase in size
What is thermal expansion
100
This is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures
What is heat
100
This method of thermal energy transfer require direct contact between substances of different temperature
What is thermal conduction
200
The more kinetic energy the particles of an object has...
What is "the higher the temperature"?
200
Thermometers can work because of a property of matter.
What is thermal expansion
200
These are placed at the start and end of a bridge to help with thermal expansion.
What are expansion joints
200
This is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance or object
What is thermal energy
200
This form of thermal energy transfer involves electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
300
Particles in matter move in different directions at different speeds. So we look at this to know temperature.
What is average kinetic energy
300
These are the three most well known temperature scales.
What are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
300
This device in a house uses thermal expansion of a bimetallic strip to help control the temperature in a heated room.
What is a thermostat
300
This is the point at which objects that are touching have the same temperature
What is thermal equilibrium
300
This is the quantity of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius
What is specific heat?
400
The temperature of a substance does not depend on this...
What is how much of the substance you have
400
This is the lowest possible temperature
What is Absolute Zero
400
These large, colorful objects use thermal expansion in order to fly in the air
What are hot air balloons?
400
This is the unit used for energy, including thermal energy
What is a joule?
400
This method of thermal energy transfer occurs in a liquid or a gas
What is convection?
500
Gas particles have a higher average kinetic energy than liquid particles of the same material, so they would have this.
What is a higher temperature
500
Use this equation F = (9/5 x C) + 32
What is converting Celsius to Faherenheit
500
The air in a hot air balloon becomes this due to thermal expansion
What is "less dense"
500
Thermal energy depends on these 2 factors
What are temperature and amount of the substance?
500
This is the equation used to calculate heat (include all units!)
What is heat (J) = specific heat (J/kg x degrees C) x mass (kg) x change in temperature (degrees C)
