Is it important that there is a balanced exchange of thermal energy between the Sun and the Earth?
yes
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.
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
What has the author H P Garg written?
H. P. Garg has written: 'Solar Thermal Energy' 'Solar thermal energy storage' -- subject(s): Heat storage, Solar thermal energy
Do solids have thermal energy why?
Solids have thermal energy because all objects have thermal energy.
What two things affect thermal energy?
Its temperature and its specific thermal capacity
What is thermal contact?
Thermal contact refers to a state in which two or more systems have the capacity to exchange thermal energy.
What two things affect energy?
Its temperature and its specific thermal capacity
What are the hot topics in thermal engineering?
Energy conservation Thermal storage technologies Co generation and waste heat recovery
What form is of stored energy?
All potential energy is stored.Chemical (battery) and thermal (storage heaters) energy can also be stored.
What tissue is specialized for energy storage and thermal insulation?
adipose tissue
What is a similarity between heat and temperature?
Potential energy and height: Energy=weight x height. Heat energy=thermal capacity x temperature.
What is the definition for thermal energy for kids?
thermal energy is energy in the form of heat.
What is temperature in physics?
Temperature is a measure of the concentration of thermal energy. Consider a lit match and a beaker of room temperature water. The water will have more thermal energy (due to water's high specific heat capacity) than the flame, but the thermal energy of the flame is more concentrated.
What metal is the highest final temperature after the heat energy has been added?
The metal with the lowest thermal capacity.
