Cite other instances of increasing a body thermal energy by transferring heat and doing work?
Other instances of increasing a body's thermal energy include using a microwave oven to heat food by transferring electromagnetic radiation as heat and using friction to warm your hands by rubbing them together, converting mechanical work into thermal energy.
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
Will the pans in the Child Size Kitchen Utensils and Cooking Set work in an easy bake oven?
Yes the pans in the Child Size Kitchen Utensils and Cooking Set will work in an easy bake oven.
How does the thermal energy of a system change when work is done on The system?
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
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.
Does thermal energy possess potential energy?
Yes, thermal energy can possess potential energy when it is stored in a system and has the potential to do work.
Can work done on a system decrease its thermal energy?
Yes. As an example: if you define a refrigerator as your system, the work done on the system causes heat to be expelled from the system to the surroundings. The net heat expelled will be equal to the work input plus the decrease in its thermal energy.
Can thermal energy be used as work?
Yes
The amount of work done by a heat engine equals the amount of thermal energy?
The amount of work done by a heat engine is not equal to the amount of thermal energy it absorbs. In a heat engine, only a fraction of the thermal energy absorbed is converted into work, with the remaining energy typically being expelled as waste heat. The efficiency of a heat engine is a measure of how effectively it converts thermal energy into work.
Is coffee thermal energy?
Yes, coffee can be considered a form of thermal energy as it contains heat energy. When coffee is hot, it has stored thermal energy that can be transferred to other objects or used to do work.
What type of renewable energy that requires water to work?
Thermal energy
