Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?
An insulator
Does temperature increase with increase in velocity?
no it doesnt
How does fire produce thermal energy?
A fire is a chemical reaction. The chemical energy in the fuel is converted into heat energy. Usually, then, the increased temperature further speeds up the process - that is, makes it easier for other atoms or molecules to react.
When you rub your hands together what type of energy happens?
thermal energychemical energy is transferred to thermal, sound, and motion energy. Thermal
What does the words thermal conductor?
thermal - heat/cold temputures conductor - something that lets things like temputer or eletricity be flowing through it an insulator is the opposite and doesnt let things like temputer or electricy flow through it conductor would be copper insulator would be wood
Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?
The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.
Why doesnt air temperature change uniformly with altitude?
Altitude doesn't change uniformly because the four main layers of the atmosphere have different temperature gradients, creating the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
