Temperature
This is the total amount of kinetic and potential energy of the molecules in a system
What is Thermal Energy?
This is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a system?
What is temperature?
0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 273 Kelvin
If the temperature of a system is increasing, what is happening to the movement of the molecules?
getting faster
This unit of measurement starts at zero, and is never negative
What is Kelvin?
What two things affect the thermal energy of a system
temperature and mass/amount of molecules
These are the particles of light energy that are radiated from a light source
what are photons?
This is the unit of measurement for energy
