What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?

the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer


What is heat energy or thermal energy?

Heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.


Will an object will be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings?

No, an object will not be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings. In this case, the object will instead absorb thermal energy from its surroundings in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.


Is temperature a measure of how much thermal energy an object has?

Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.


What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?

"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".


Explain the difference between an object's external temperature and its thermal energy?

The thermal energy of an object consists of the total kinetic energy of all its atoms and molecules. The temperature of the object is a measured average intensity of its thermal energy.


What is heat energy called in an object?

Thermal energy of the object or body.


What happens when thermal energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?

thermal equilibrium


Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?

no


What is the thermal energy in an object?

Thermal energy is pretty much the heat in an object. However different parts of the object can have different temperatures, so thermal energy is the average of all that. The formula for thermal energy is: q(change in the thermal energy) = m(mass) x c(specific heat (the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of an object 1 K)) x delta t(change in temperature)


When does light energy change to thermal energy?

When an object absorbs light energy the object can get warmer.


How are thermal energy and the kenetic energy related?

The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules in an object is the thermal energy
