What term is used to describe how well various conduct thermal energy?
thermal conductivity The term for how substances conduct thermal energy is thermal conductivity.
What is used to describe how well various substances conduct thermal energy?
thermal conductivity The term for how substances conduct thermal energy is thermal conductivity.
Another term for thermal energy is?
Heat
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 a motor converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine".
What term is used to describe how well various conduct thermal energy?
thermal conductivity The term for how substances conduct thermal energy is thermal conductivity.
What term refers to the total kinetic energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
Can thermal energy be stored in food?
No. In general, there is no way to store heat energy (thermal energy) long-term.

Another term for heat?
Thermal energy.

What is the term for transferring thermal energy by contact?
conduction
What is the thermal energy in the Earth called?
The term "geothermal energy" is often used.
Temperature is the flow of energy?
No, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance. Thermal energy is a term sometimes used to refer to the internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature, or heat.
Temperature is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another?
The transfer of thermal energy when particles of a fluid move from one place to another is convection. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point.Another AnswerNo. Heat (the term, 'thermal energy', is obsolete) is defined as 'energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body'. So a temperature difference is necessary for heat transfer to take place.It is not heat it is convection.
Is there another term for specific heat?
Another specific term for heat is thermal energy for light it is radiant energy.
