dense
objects with molecules packed closely packed together
energy
the ability to do work or cause change
radiant energy
solar or heat energy which travels in waves
temperature
a measure of the amount of heat an object has
thermal energy
heat energy
conduction
heat is transferred to an object when two objects are in contact with eachother
convection
transfer of heat in a fluid where the warmer part of the mass will rise and the cooler portions will sink.
convection current
movement of a fluid, caused by differences in temperature, that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another
electromagnetic waves
form of energy that can travel through space.
energy transfer
passing on energy from one object to another
equilibrium
A state of balance within a system. Thermal energy flows from a warmer to a cooler object until both are the same temperature.
heat
Energy that is transferred as a result of temperature differences
radiation
energy in the form of rays or waves or particles.
how conduction works
Conduction occurs when two object at different temperatures contact each other.
matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
