What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.
Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
What does heat travel with easily through metals?
Metals are good heat conductors. The electrons are also exicted by thermal energy and that thermal energy rapidly moves to other atoms.
How is heat different from thermal energy?
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.
What is the suffix for thermal energy?
The suffix for thermal energy is "ies" as in "energies". The word "thermal" is derived from German. Thus the suffix for thermal is "en" as in "thermalen".
What materials transfer thermal energy easily?
ThermalsXD
Is thermal energy conducted through a solid object as kinetic energy?
yup
Are materials that transfer thermal energy easily A thermals B conductors C enzymes D catalysts E chemical bonds?
conductors transfer thermal heat
Do solids have thermal energy?
All materials have thermal properties.
What are materials that transfer thermal energy well called?
Materials that transfer thermal energy well are called good themal conductors. The metals are generally good conductors of heat (thermal energy).
How can you tell when some thing has energy?
You can tell if has thermal energy by its temperature, and you can tell if it has kinetic energy because it is moving. But you can't easily tell what materials will release chemical energy or nuclear energy, without doing scientific tests on them.
Matrials that transfer thermal energy easily?
Metals
A material that does not transfer thermal energy easily?
mettel
Which is the name given to any material that transfers thermal energy easily?
A thermal conductor.
What materials do not transfer heat easily?
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
Which material in thermal energy moves easily is called?
Conduction
What is the term for the materials that have very low thermal energy resistance?
superconductors
