What else can I help you with?
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.
What measures the average thermal energy?
The kinetic energy of a system.
What is the opposite of thermal energy?
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
How is it possible that something can have a high temperature but very little thermal energy?
Thermal energy is a product of two variables; the temperature, and the mass. If two objects having the same mass were heated to the same temperature, they would have the same thermal energy. If an object weighing ten grams was heated to 1000º C, it would have less thermal energy than an object weighing 2 tons, heated to 100º C. To demonstrate this, imagine the amounts of ice each of the above objects could melt.
What is a device that heats your home by removing thermal energy from one location and transferring it to another location at a different temperature?
A device that heats a home by removing thermal energy from one location and transferring it to another location is a heat mover. An example of a heat mover is a refrigerator.
A device that heats your home by removing thermal energy from one location and transferring it to another location at a different temperature is a?
Heat Pump
How is the transfer of thermal energy from electric devices regulated?
A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy. A device that regulates the temperature of a system. A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location. A machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
What kind of energy are you increasing in the steak?
Grilling a steak increases the thermal energy by transferring heat from the grill to the steak. This results in the meat cooking and increasing in temperature.
When does heat energy stop transferring?
Heat energy stops transferring when two objects in contact reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they are at the same temperature. At this point, there is no temperature difference to drive further heat transfer.
How do heat engines use thermal energy and how do refrigerators keep things cold?
Heat engines use thermal energy to generate mechanical work by transferring heat from a high-temperature reservoir to a low-temperature reservoir. Refrigerators keep things cold by using a refrigerant to absorb heat from the inside of the unit and release it outside, thereby maintaining a lower temperature inside.
How does thermal energy get passed in a conductor?
In a conductor, thermal energy is transferred through the process of conduction. This occurs as the particles of the conductor vibrate and collide with neighboring particles, transferring energy along the material. The rate of thermal energy transfer depends on factors such as the material's conductivity and temperature difference.
The flow of thermal energy?
Thermal energy flows from an object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. This flow can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the medium through which the energy is transferring. The rate of heat transfer is dependent on factors such as the temperature difference, the thermal conductivity of the material, and the surface area involved.
What is the thermal energy that flows from a material with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature?
Heat is the thermal energy that flows from a material with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature. This flow of heat occurs due to the temperature difference between the two materials, with heat transferring in the direction of decreasing temperature.
The process of transferring thermal energy is?
conduction!
What device removes thermal energy from one location to another at a different temperature?
Radiators and condensers.
What is the transfer of thermal energy through the motion of particles caused by temperature differences?
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through the motion of particles, caused by temperature differences. It occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when atoms or molecules collide with each other, transferring heat energy.
