Temp, Heat, and Thermal energy

Temperature

measure of average kinetic energy in an object.

Thermal Conduction

transfer of thermal energy due to collision.

Temperature

Thermal Conduction

transfer of thermal energy due to collision.

Thermal Equillibrium

the state in which the rate of energy flow between the 2 objects is equal and they have the same temp.

Absolute Zero

0 Kelvin and 0 atm

Convection

Heating caused by moving fluid

Thermal expansion

matter expands as temperature increases

Radiation

transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

conductors

transfer energy more easily

insulators

substances that do not easily transfer energy

Calorimeter

a device that measures changes in thermal energy.
