Chapter 16 Thermal Energy And Heat

Front 1

heat

Back 1

is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another because of temperature difference

Front 2

temperature

Back 2

is a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point

Front 3

thermal energy

Back 3

is the total potential and kinetic energy related to the motion of all particles in an object

Front 4

Specific heat

Back 4

is the amount of heat needed to rise the temperature of 1 gram of a material by 1 degree

Front 5

thermal expanison

Back 5

is an increase in the volume of a material due to a temperature increase

Front 6

Calorimeter

Back 6

is an instrument used to measure changes in thermal energy

Front 7

conduction

Back 7

is the transfer of the thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter

Front 8

thermal conductor

Back 8

is a material that conducts thermal energy well

Front 9

thermal insulator

Back 9

a material that conduct thermal energy poorly

Front 10

convection

Back 10

is the transfer of thermal energy when particles of a fluid move from 1 place to another
