Bring the Heat
The energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg. of material 1 degree Celsius is this property.
specific heat
These materials are great conductors of heat
Metals: Copper, Aluminum, Iron
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make of an object
Temperature
This is a device that turns Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy
This device transfers Thermal energy from a cooler region to a warmer region.
Refrigerator
This law states that Thermal energy can be transferred from a cooler location to a warmer location when work is done.
2nd law of thermodynamics
A material that reduces the transfer of thermal energy is called this.
Insulator
Energy that is transferred between objects due to a temperature difference between the 2 objects describes this term.
Heat
This is the study of the relationships between heat, work, and Thermal Energy.
Thermodynamics
The transfer of energy that does not require matter like the suns energy traveling to Earth is referred to as this.
Radiation
Thermal energy is transferred slowly through this.
Thermal insulator
A thermos is a good example of what type of item.
An insulator
A typical gasoline engine is runs at this percent efficiency.
25%
A device that transforms the suns radiant energy into Thermal Energy.
Solar collector
What happens to potential energy as particles move farther apart?
It increases
Thermal energy is transferred quickly through this.
Thermal conductor
The sum of all kinetic energy and potential energy of an object is known as this.
Thermal energy
As particles move faster, this happens to kinetic energy.
It increases
This device transfers Thermal energy from a region of lower temperature to a region of higher temperature and caused the population to grow rapidly in the Southern United States over the past 50 years.
Air conditioner.
Of water, wood, Sand and iron, this would have the highest specific heat.
Water
Fuel is burned in cylinders in this type of engine
Internal combustion engine
The transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movements of warmer and cooler fluid describes this type of energy trasfer
What is convection
The transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles that make up matter is known as this.
Conduction
A device that converts Thermal energy into mechanical energy is known as this
Heat engine
Of water, wood, Sand and iron, this would have the lowest specific heat.
Iron
