Heat transfer through a fluid (liquid or gas).The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another.When the particles of a material collide with neighboring particles.There are three ways to transfer thermal energy conduction, convection, and radiation.The transfer of thermal energy from one object to another when they are at different temperatures.
MYP GLOBAL CONTEXTS WITH TEMPERATURE FULL
Energy will always pass from the warmer object to the cooler object until both have the same temperature.Ĭomparison of Thermal Energy If both glasses of milk are at the same temperature, the full glass will have more thermal energy because it has more potential energy.The more particles there are in a substance at a given, temperature, the greater the thermal energy of the substance.Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance.Energy is always transferred from the object that has the higher temperature to the one with the lower temperature.Heat is the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.Some of these transformations happen inside you! Some energy changes involve single transformations, while others involve many transformations.Ĭommon Energy Transformations:Every day, energy transformations are all around you.A change from one form of energy to another is called an energy transformation.Most forms of energy can be transformed into other forms.Energy stored in center(nucleus) of an atom.Like sound vibrations, light vibrations cause energy to be transmitted. Light energy is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.Sound energy is caused by an object’s vibrations.What is Chemical Energy?Įnergy caused by the movement of electrons Easily transported through power lines and converted into other forms of energy What is Electrical Energy? The chemical bonds in a matchstick store energy that is transformed into thermal energy when the match is struck. What is Thermal Energy?Įnergy that is available for release from chemical reactions. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will show less movement. Heat energy Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. When the ball strikes the pins, mechanical energy is transferred to the pins! What is Mechanical Energy? The measure of the average value of kinetic energy of the molecules in random motionĮnergy due to a object’s motion (kinetic) or position (potential).the “stuff” that makes “stuff do stuff” OR.Must have the vocabulary word, a description, a fact, a detail, and an example.Using pages 242-253 make test review cards for the upcoming test on tomorrow.You have 15 minutes to work individually to create test review cards.What do you think will happen to the food coloring under the hot water?.What do you think will happen to the food coloring under the cold water?.
