Transfer of Energy Review

Front

What happens to the heat from a hot object left in a cooler environment?

Back

The heat from the hot object transfers to the cooler air, causing the object to cool down.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

When two objects have the same temperature and no heat transfer occurs between them.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of energy through the movement of liquids or gases, where hot liquid/air rises and cold liquid/air sinks due to a change in density.

Front

In which direction does heat flow?

Back

Heat flows from hot to cold.

Front

What are the three states of matter?

Back

Solids, liquids, and gases.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and heat transfer?

Back

Heat transfer occurs from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.
