Thermal Energy 1
This is the lowest possible temperature at which all molecular motion stops.
What is absolute zero?
The temperature at which the particles have sufficient molecular motion to exist in a gas is this.
What is the boiling point?
The state of matter with the second lowest energy is this.
What is liquid?
The measurement of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object is known as this.
What is temperature?
A temperature scale that is based upon the phase change properties of water is this.
What is the Celsius scale?
This is the most common state of matter in existence.
What is plasma?
A temperature scale that is based upon the idea that all molecular motion stops at absolute zero is this.
What is the Kelvin scale?
All the kinetic energy of the molecules in an object is known as this.
What is thermal energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be converted from one form into another.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The state of matter with the highest energy state is this.
What is plasma?
The energy that flows as a result of a temperature difference is known as this.
What is heat?
Heat has this unit.
What is Joules?
The temperature at which the particles have sufficient molecular motion to exist in a liquid is this.
What is the melting point?
The movement of heat from one object to another that are touching is known as this.
What is conduction?
The lowest temperature at which the particles are able to exist in liquid form is called this.
What is the melting point?
The state of matter with the lowest energy is this.
What is solid?
The state of matter with the second highest energy is this.
What is gas?
What is radiation?
This is the amount of energy used to raise one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
What is a calorie?
This temperature scale is often used by chemists and physicists.
What is the Kelvin scale?
Which has more thermal energy? A 2ftx4ftx1ft ice sculpture or a lit match? Explain.
What is the ice sculpture. Since the ice sculpture has more mass and molecules, it contains more thermal energy than the match. Even though the lit match is hotter, is has significantly less particles, and lower thermal energy.
This is the amount of heat necessary to raise one mass unit of a substance by one temperature unit.
What is specific heat?
A device used to measure temperature is known as this.
What is a thermometer?
This is the reason why water and water based compounds are often used as a coolant.
Water has a high specific heat, meaning it takes more energy to increase the temperature of water compared to other substances.
What property describes a substance's ability to transmit energy?
What is a conductivity?
