What is the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another and is a physical property of matter?
thermal conductivity
What type of energy transfer accounts for a change in the temperature of the tongs?
Dissipation - the heat energy that is transferred to the tongs is dissipated from the tongs to the surrounding area in order for the temperature of the whole system to be at an equilibrium.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy from hot to cold?
A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the 'source') to another location, using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink.
What can slow the movement of heat energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
Transfer of heat can be slow down by increase insulation. For radiation heat transfer, colour coating could reduce rate of radiation in the same manner as insulation. Reduce surface area of heat transfer (or area of contact) can also reduce rate of heat transfer.
Which area of technology might be associated with this itemsolar panel?
energy and energy transfer
Which area of technology might be associated with this item?
portable cooler: energy and energy transfer
Which type of energy transfer occurs when water is heated on a hot plate?
It is called conduction. The molecules vibrate and the energy transferred between molecules from a high temperature area to a low temperature area.
Which area of technology might be associated with solar panels?
Energy or energy transfer is associated with solar panels.
What do you call the movement of thermal energy from a warm area to a cool area?
There are three ways thermal energy can be transferred: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Why does a large object absorb thermal energy faster than a smaller object?
A greater surface area allows for greater energy transfer.
A method of sending energy waves from a satellite to an area of earth being observed is?
radar;radar means :the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another and is a physical property of matter?
thermal conductivity
Forces and motion waves energy and energy transfer light and the electromagnetic spectrum Which area of technology might be associated with this item safety device?
forces and motion
What type of energy could best be used in a geyser-filled area?
Geysers have thermal energyfrom heat transfer
What is the 5 lettered New Zealand area starting and ending with the letter O?
Otago, a region in the South Island.
Succession occurring in an area with no soil?
none
