Temperature
The average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Thermal energy
The total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
Heat
The ability to transfer energy from one substance to another.
Thermal Equilibrium
A state where two objects are at the same temperature, and heat flow between them stops.
Radiation
The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves traveling through space.
Conduction
Heat transfer through particle collisions within a material.
Convection
The actual movement of particles, such as hot air rising and creating convection currents.
Phase energy
The potential energy that determines the phase of an object.
Latent Heat
The energy required to change the state of matter without changing its temperature.
Heat of fusion
The energy needed for a solid to turn into a liquid at constant temperature.
Heat of vaporization
The energy required for a liquid to turn into a gas at constant temperature.
Specific heat capacity
A property of matter that indicates how much energy is needed to change an object's temperature.
Newton’s law of cooling
Describes how the rate of cooling of an object increases when the object is at a higher temperature.
