What is the study of relationships between heat work and thermal energy?
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
The study of conversions between thermal energy and other forms of energy?
thermodynamics
The zeroth law of thermodynamics pertains to what relational condition that may exist between two systems?
Thermal equilibrium
What is the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves?
Thermodynamics
Which law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy applied to thermal systems?
Conservation of energy is the 1st law of thermodynamics.
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one is referred to as?
This is the zeroth law of thermodynamics: objects at different temperatures will form a thermal equilibrium. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only change form. So the cooler object has to get hotter not the other way around.
What are variables for the first law of thermodynamics?
the internal energy (thermal energy)
What happens to thermal energy after its use?
It is changed into a different form of energy as it cannot be destroyed (First law of thermodynamics) usually kinetic energy of the molecules
What is it called when solids are heated?
Thermal expansion in accordance with the first law of thermodynamics.
Is the first law of thermodynamics simply the conservation of energy applied to thermal systems?
I understand both to be equivalent. It is for historical reasons that the law has two different names.
Does wind have thermal energy?
yes. everything has some thermal energy. Even liquid nitrogen has some thermal energy. Nothing can have no thermal energy, look at the 3rd law of thermodynamics.
What is the transfer of thermal energy from warmer regions to cooler regions?
the second law of thermodynamics
