When have a hot and cold substance which direction does thermal energy flow?
It will flow to the cold substance
The flow of thermal energy?
the flow of thermal energy
Thermal energy flows from what to what?
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
Does heat travel from cooler to warmer matter?
In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the energy in transfer between a system and its surroundings. In practice we consider the flow from the higher energy state to the lower energy state. In the case of thermal energy, from the body with the higher thermal energy (warmer) to the body with the lower thermal energy (cooler). In general, however, you may define the flow in either direction you wish, though if you define it as from cooler to warmer, the magnitude would be negative.
What does thermal equilibrium mean?
It means that two (or more) objects are at the same temperature, so there is no net flow of heat energy in one direction or in the other.
When have a hot and cold substance which direction does thermal energy flow?
It will flow to the cold substance
The flow of thermal energy?
the flow of thermal energy
What direction does thermal energy flow?
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Does your body gain or lose thermal energy if your body temperature is 37 degrees C and the temperature around is 25 degrees C?
Heat will naturally flow from hotter objects to colder objects. If heat flows OUT OF your body, you will LOSE that heat energy (thermal energy).
How does thermal energy always flow?
heat
Is heat the flow thermal energy?
yes it is
Is the flow of thermal energy?
yes or no ______________________________________ yes

When does thermal energy cease to move from one object to another?
When they are in thermal contact and their temperatures are the same there is no NET flow of energy. If the objects are both thermally insulated there will be no flow of energy at all.
Is heat the flow of thermal energy?
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
