Term | Definition |
---|---|
Q | heat transferred to a material |
m | mass |
c | specific heat value |
(delta) t | change in temperature |
cold | less kinetic energy |
warm | more kinetic energy |
heat transfer goes from | hot to cold |
low movement = | low temperature |
high movement = | high temperature |
average kinetic energy | temperature |
thermal energy of a system | sum of all kinetic energies of its partcales |
heating or cooling | transferring particle kinetic energy |
viscosity | measure of the resistance of liquids to flow |
conduction | two objects of different temperatures touch |
convection | thermal energy carried from one location to another by a fluid |
heat capacity | relationship between the amount of thermal energy and temperature change |
radiation | thermal energy that radiates from the source from the source outward |
insulators | materials that resist the flow of thermal energy |
