6Irc Thermal Energy And Heat (Book1-Chpt5)

Front 1

Kinetic energy

Back 1

Is energy an object has

due to its motion.

Front 2

joule

Back 2

Is a unit of work equal

to one newton-meter

Front 3

Density

Back 3

Is the ratio of the mass

of a substance to its volume.

Front 4

Temperature

Back 4

The measure of the average

kinetic energy of the particles

of a substance.

Front 5

Celsius Scale

Back 5

The temperature scale on

which water freezes at

0 degrees Celsius and boils

at 100 degrees Celsius.

Front 6

Absolute Zero

Back 6

The temperature at which

no more energy can be

removed from matter.

Front 7

Fahrenheit Scale

Back 7

The temperature scale on

which water freezes at

32 degrees Fahrenheit

and boils at 212 degrees

Fahrenheit.

Front 8

Kelvin Scale

Back 8

The temperature scale on

which zero is the temperature

at which no more energy can

be removed from matter.

Front 9

Heat

Back 9

The transfer of thermal

energy from a warmer

object to a cooler object.

Front 10

convection

Back 10

The transfer of thermal

energy by the movement

of fluid.

Front 11

Convection current

Back 11

The movement of a fluid,

caused by differences in

temperature, that transfers

heat from one part of the

fluid to another.

Front 12

radiation

Back 12

The transfer of energy

through space by

electromagnetic waves.

Front 13

conduction

Back 13

Transfers heat from one particle of
matter to another within and object
or between two objects.

Front 14

Conductor

Back 14

A material that conducts

heat well

Front 15

Insulator

Back 15

Materials that do

not conduct heat well.

Front 16

Specific Heat

Back 16

The amount of energy

required to raise the

temperature of 1 kilogram

of a material by 1 Kelvin.

Front 17

Thermal Expansion

Back 17

Is the expanding of matter

when it is heated.
