Thermal Energy

QuestionAnswer
Thermal Energy is: the SUM of all kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a sample of matter
Temperature is: a measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
Potential energy is: stored energy
3 types of potential energy: gravitational potential energy; chemical potential energy; elastic potential energy
The SI unit for thermal energy is: Joule
Thermal energy flows from: Hot to cold
Kinetic theory is: an explanation of how particles behave in matter
Kinetic energy is: energy of motion
Particles generally move faster when ___(1)_____ and move slower when _____(2)_________ (1)heated; (2)cooled
Matter generally expands when: heated
Matter generally contracts when: cooled
You will need to label the diagram with the states of matter using these terms: Sublimation, melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, deposition
What is matter? Anything that has mass and volume
The "building blocks" of matter: Atoms
Conservation of Energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another
Thermal resistors are: materials that resist the flow of thermal energy
Convection: transfer of thermal energy in a fluid, liquid or gas by the movement of the fluid from place to place
Particle of matter move __________ when heated faster
Matter ____________ when heated expands
Three main subatomic particles: proton, neutron, electron
Conduction: the transfer of energy between colliding particles
Atoms possess this because they are always in motion: Kinetic energy
Specific heat is: amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance 1 degree celcius

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
