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 hydro thermal energy kids version?
Hydrothermal energy is generated through the earth's hot water. The water is produced underground, and heated by the earth's thermal heat.
What is the effect on the volume of a substance when thermal energy is added?
Adding heat to something generally increases its volume. In rare cases, adding heat to something like ice may actually decrease its volume. The increase in volume of a heated gas is much more significant than the increase in volume when solids and liquids are heated.
What is thermal decomposition?
in English it is basically breaking something down using heat --------------- Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction of decomposition under the effect of high temperature: the compound breaks down into other substances when it is heated. For example: copper(II) sulfide when heated produces copper + sulfur dioxide
The expansion of matter when it is heated is known as?
thermal expansion
What is heat a transfer of?
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a heated item to a cooler item.
What is a description of heat?
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a heated item to a cooler item.
What is a description of heat transfer?
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a heated item to a cooler item.
What is the transfer of thermal energy by movement of heated matter?
Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of heated matter, such as air or water. This process occurs as warmer, less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks, creating a convection current that transfers heat.
What type of energy is a heated oven?
thermal energy
Heated air molecules in a hot air balloon soon carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon this is an example of?
Convection. In this case, the heated air molecules rise due to their lower density, carrying thermal energy from the heat source at the bottom of the balloon to the cooler top part of the balloon.
What name is used for the main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated?
The main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated is convection. In convection, the heated gas molecules become less dense and rise, while cooler gas molecules sink, creating a circular motion that transfers heat throughout the gas.
What is heated by the thermal energy wasted by a hairdryer?
electrical energy
What is heated by the thermal energy wasted by a food mixer?
kinetic energy is wasted
When a substance is blank it gains thermal energy?
When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. This increased energy causes the substance's particles to move faster and its temperature to rise.
What is the difference between heated and cooled?
Heated refers to raising the temperature of something, while cooled refers to lowering the temperature. Heating involves adding thermal energy to increase temperature, while cooling involves removing thermal energy to decrease temperature.
