Facts about Katelynn
100

what is temperature?

temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.

100

how would you explain conduction thermal energy?

the transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter.

100

what are some common types of heating systems?

force air system, radiator system, electric heating system, and solar heating.

100

what is Katelynn's favorite color?

orange.

200

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.

200

how would you explain convection thermal energy?

the transfer of thermal energy particles of a fluid move from one place to another.

200

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.

200

who is Katelynn's best friend?

Mackenzie Ingram.

300

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

300

how would you explain thermal radiation?

the transfer of energy by waves moving through space.

300

how would you explain the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

the energy spontaneously spreads from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

300

what does Katelynn play in the band?

Alto Saxophone.

400

how can you calculate the change in thermal energy?

q=m*c*ΔT

400

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.

400

how would you explain the heat engine?

a device that converts some thermal energy into mechanical energy.

400

which does Katelynn like better Marching Season or concert band?

Marching Band

500

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. 

500

how are thermal insulators used to control the transfer of thermal energy?

it traps the heat so the energy transfers easier.

500

give an example of energy conversion (energy path).

sun-->solar panels-->house-->light.

500

how many times has Katelynn busted her head open?

2 times
