Thermal Energy
Question | Answer |
---|---|
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 |
