What kind of energy does a thermometer measure?
Thermal energy
Does a thermometer use kinetic energy?
No, thermal energy.
How do you use thermal energy and thermometer in the same sentence?
The thermal energy output of the new engine was inefficient, as the thermometer quickly demonstrated.
Can a thermometer measure thermal energy?
yes
What do you use to measure the energy from the sun?
thermometer
What kind of energy can a thermometer measure?
thermal energy
What kind of energy does a thermometer measure?
Thermal energy
Is it true that thermal energy is the total energy of particles in a material?
No, There could be atomic states (optically excited electronic energy levels of atoms, and of semiconductors for example) that can store energy which is not regarded as heat (which can be sensed by a thermometer). Magnets can store lots of energy which is not thermal. Thermal energy is the energy which is stored as vibrations of atoms and molecules, detected by a thermometer of some kind.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
Does a thermometer use kinetic energy?
No, thermal energy.
Is the sun thermometer energy?
"thermonuclear"
How do you use thermal energy and thermometer in the same sentence?
The thermal energy output of the new engine was inefficient, as the thermometer quickly demonstrated.
What a thermometer measures?
A thermometer actually measures the average kinetic energy in an object.
What kind of thermometer does a veterinary doctor uses to find the temperature of domestic animals?
clinical thermometer or a rectal thermometer
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
What instrument measures molecular energy?
A thermometer measures molecular energy.
What weighs the motion of molecules?
thermometer. Temperature has to do with the average kinetic energy of molecules, and we find it with a thermometer
