Which term defines something that does not transfer thermal energy efficiently?
conductor
Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?
An insulator
What is the thermal energy transfer?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.

Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?
An insulator
What is the thermal energy transfer?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
What material conducts thermal energy poorly is a?
thermal insulator
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
Distinguish between a heat conductor and an insulator.?
A heat conductor readily conducts thermal energy; an insulator inhibits flow of thermal energy.
What energies can thermal energy transfer into?
one energy that thermal energy can transfer into is radiation energy. It can transfer into that because of the electromagnetic waves.
What energy is the thermal energy?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
How is the rate of a cooling of a building affected by the thickness and the thermal conductivity of its walls?
Generally thicker walls slow down the transfer of heat, and if the material is a good thermal conductor that will increase the rate of transfer.
