Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
Why is concrete a good insulator?
Concrete is not a good insulator. Concrete has a high thermal mass, which means it can store and release a lot of thermal energy (heat). This property is sometimes mistaken for insulation because it can be used to delay the transmission of thermal energy. The amount of delay is proportional to the thickness of the concrete. An example of this is the use of thick concrete walls to store thermal energy during a hot day and release it during the cooler night. For a delay of this length (half a day) the thickness of the concrete wall needs to be between 150-200mm.
Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.
Example of energy transformation from chemical potential energy to thermal energy?
A log burning in a fire place.
How is thermal energy transfered in Earth?
I hate Robyn Turner
Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
Is temperature a measure of how much thermal energy an object has?
Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.
Is degrees related to thermal energy?
The amount of thermal energy a substance has is proportional to its temperature
How does a substance gain heat?
A substance gains heat, or otherwise known as thermal energy, in many different ways. These can be from pressure, friction, the transformation of chemical energy to thermal energy, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy, potential energy to the energy of motion (kinetic energy) or a substance can become exothermic during, and after a chemical change if the amount of energy produced from the broken bonds is greater than the amount of energy required for rearranged bonds to be made.
The higher the temperature of something the greater its?
Thermal Energy.
What is a result of internal motion of particles of matter?
That is called heat, or thermal energy.That is called heat, or thermal energy.That is called heat, or thermal energy.That is called heat, or thermal energy.
When electrical energy is converted into thermal energy what must be true?
The total amount of thermal energy plus chemical energy changes.
Can a simple machine efficiency ever be greater than 100 percent?
No, due to the fact machines loose energy due to heat/thermal energy. you will always loose some amount of energy.
What is the total amount of energy a substance contains?
it is thermal energy
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
What is the amount of thermal energy in an item?
heat
Thermal energy or heat energy?
Thermal Energy is the energy that comes from the random motion of the particles the make up a substance. The greater the movement of particles the greater the temperature. Movement. > TemperatureAnswerThe terms, 'thermal energy' and 'heat energy' are obsolete. The modern term for what used to be called 'thermal energy' or 'heat energy' is 'internal energy'. These days, 'heat' is considered not to be a 'form of energy', but energy in transit between a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
