What you call electricity is really just the movement of?
Electrons bumping into each other transferring energy called electricity.
What is the movement called when a call does not use energy to move particles across the cells membrane?
It is called passive diffusion.
What do you call substances that will not let thermal heat pass through them?
thermal insulator
What do people call it when molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration?
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
What do you call air and water movement?
they oth make big or large movement
What do you call the total energy of a particle in a substance?
Thermal energy
What do you call thermal energy that moves between objects?
heat
What do you call energy that heats things up and cools things down?
Thermal energy
What is type of material that tries to prevent the flow of thermal energy?
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.
What is the flow of thermal energy call?
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.
All matter is composed of atoms or molecules that have energy of motion also known as?
What we normally call heat or thermal energy.
What it thermal energy?
Since the late 60s/early 70s, heat has been considered as energy in transit from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Heat is directly comparable to work, where work describes energy in transit from one form into another.So, heat and work both describe transfers of energy, not energy itself.We can use water as an analogy. When it's vapour, we call it a 'cloud', when it condenses, we call it 'rain', when it's on the ground, we call it a 'puddle'. Well, heat and work are equivalent to 'rain' -water in transit between being a cloud and being a puddle!
What do you call a feline unhappy about the excessive thermal energy beneath its feet?
Probably "a cat on a hot tin roof"
What is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called what?
the process is call OSMOSIS.
What is another name for kenetic energy?
Well, it is commonly called just that - "kinetic energy". Of course, you might call it the "energy of movement", because that's what it is all about.
When is thermal energy considered heat?
By the way heat is defined in thermodynamics, it is energy moving from one place to another. By analogy, rain is only rain when it is falling. When it is in the clouds we call it a cloud. Once it makes it to the ground it is just a puddle. Generally heat flows because of thermal gradients.
What is the movement called when a call does not use energy to move particles across the cells membrane?
It is called passive diffusion.
