Heat and Temperature

Front

What is temperature?

Back

A measure of the average amount of kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

Front

True or False: A thermal conductor transfers heat well between two objects, and the heat does not stay in one place.

Back

True

Front

If two objects have different temperatures, heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler one UNTIL what happens?

Back

They both have an equal temperature.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance as the average kinetic energy of its particles increases?

Back

The temperature of the substance increases.

Front

When would an object left in a room temperature room stop transferring heat?

Back

When it has reached the same temperature as the room temperature air.

Front

What is heat?

Back

The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.

Front

What is a thermal conductor?

Back

A material that allows heat to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a thermal insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow heat to flow through it easily.

Front

What is the relationship between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred due to temperature differences, while temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What happens to particles in a substance when it is heated?

Back

The particles move faster and the average kinetic energy increases.
