Term Definition
temperature A measure of average kinetic energy of the particles of an object.
thermal expansion The increase of the volume of a substance due to an increase of temperature.
absolute zero The lowest temperature on the Kelvin Scale (0k, or zero Kelvin). Is also -273C.
95 What is 35 degrees Celcius in Fahrenhiet using the formula of F=(9/5 x C) + 32?
heat The transfer of energy between 2 objects that are different temperatures.
thermal energy The total kinetic energy of the paritcles that make up a substance.
thermal equilibrium The contact of a warmer object and a colder object until they reach the point in which they are the same temperature, which is this point.
conduction The transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another through direct contact.
convection The transfer of thermal energy through a liquid or a gas.
radiation The transfer of energy through matter or space, such as electromagnet waves, and visible light, like infrared waves.
conductor A substance that conducts thermal energy well.
insulator A substance that doesn't conduct thermal energy well.
specific heat capacity The amount of energy needed to convert the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1C.
states of matter The physical forms of which a substance can exist.
change of state The conversion of a substance from one physical form to another.
insulation The act of something that reduces the transfer of thermal energy.
heat engine A machine that uses heat to work.
thermal pollution The excessive heating of a body of water. A negative effect of thermal energy.
molecules What are groups of atoms called?

Description

For that ESC test we got assigned to have a test on in 1 week with no time to review. :(

Magee : yay!
dont_ask72 : yes! just what i needed!!
dont_ask72 : asking: is this just all the vocabulary?
dont_ask72 : and #2: you're one month off on ur set title
Magee : hi
Magee : yeah, only vocab. adam sed it was all u needed to know for the test
Magee : Changed insulation → A substance that reduces the transfer of thermal energy. to insulation → The act of something that reduces the transfer of thermal energy.
Magee : Changed temperature → A measure of average kinetic energy of the paritcles of an object. to temperature → A measure of average kinetic energy of the particles of an object.
dont_ask72 : really. (reply to to vocab) geena and my other friends from mowry/haselby said that there were a lot of short answer and it was really hard...but?
Magee : well, 95 isnt vocab!!!
Magee : lol
Magee : hi?
Magee : hi
Magee : u dere?
Magee : :) a little late=-b more patient next time
Magee : :twisted:
sakurakino : did ya get ur hats back?
sakurakino : ang: correction- i said lots of multiple choice u get to pick 5 short answer
sakurakino : oh wtv
sakurakino : estimation: I think i got 6 wrong
michelle : i didn't figure this out until today
michelle : so its useless now
sakurakino : yah
dont_ask72 : wtv
dont_ask72 : michael just put the vocab--it's not much of a use, no off
sakurakino : yah i guess but...
whos : ?
