The flow of thermal energy is called heat transfer. It is through the various means of heat transfer that thermal energy moves from one place to another. Heat moves from where it is hot to where it is not. Always. Think it through and it will make perfect sense.
We call material that acts in that way a thermal insulator. Sometimes we shorten it to just insulation, but we need to be clear that we're talking about thermal energy and not, say, electrical energy.
heat
yes it is
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
Yes, thermal energy flows from hot to cold.
Thermal energy flows from an object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. This flow can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the medium through which the energy is transferring. The rate of heat transfer is dependent on factors such as the temperature difference, the thermal conductivity of the material, and the surface area involved.
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
Thermal energy
it doesnt i dont think.
because thermal energy always flows from warmer matter to cooler matter
Heat.
Thermal energy flows from the hotter substance to the colder substance until thermal equilibrium is reached, where both substances reach the same temperature.
