Which has more heat energy the ice sculpture or a lighted match?
First note that "thermal energy" is a term that is long since obsolete. The correct term is "Internal Energy". "Thermal energy" was a term that was in use when people thought of energy as being some kind of fluid called "caloric" that was transferred between things at different temperatures. With that said: an iceberg has more internal energy when compared to a hot cup of coffee mainly due to the variance in size. Total internal energy is not necessarily determined by the presence of heat but the mass of the molecules present.
Is thermal energy kinetic or potential?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
Which has more thermal energy a cup of hot tea or a pitcher of juice?
First note that "thermal energy" is a term that became obsolete about 200 years ago. The correct term is "Internal Energy". "Thermal energy" was a term that was in use when people thought of energy as being some kind of fluid called "caloric" that was transferred between things at different temperatures.Because the pitcher of juice almost certainly has much more mass than a cup of some hot beverage, we would expect it to have more internal energy.
What has more thermal energy one gram of water at 75 degrees or 100 grams of water at 75 degrees?
(75'C)x(1g) < (75'C)x(100g) .'. The second option has more thermal energy.
Can a container of cold water have the same thermal energy as hot water?
No, the thermal energy of any object is a multiple of its temperature (absolute), the specific heat of the material it is made of, and the mass of the material. So obviously a large pot contains more energy than a small one.
What kind of energy conversions taking place in lighting a match?
When a match is lit, chemical energy stored in the match head is converted to thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy then ignites the wood in the match, producing light energy and more thermal energy due to the flame.
Is heat is the flow of thermal energy?
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
Why does a big chunk of ice have more thermal energy than a hot match?
Because of its size.
What energy was given by the burning matchstick?
The energy given off by the burning of a match is called thermal energy. If you want to know the amount of energy, you then need to have more information related to the mass and material of the match.
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.
How does temperature affect energy?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
What container has more thermal energy?
The container that has more thermal energy would be the one with a higher temperature. Thermal energy is directly proportional to temperature, so the container with a higher temperature would have more thermal energy.
Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Yes, the thermal energy of a substance depends on its mass because thermal energy is a form of internal energy related to the motion of particles within the substance. More particles in a larger amount of substance would have more kinetic energy, contributing to a higher thermal energy.
How are thermal energy and temperature similare?
Temperature is what is used to measure thermal energy The more thermal energy a substance has, the more warmer it will be. So when the temperature is high, there is a lot of thermal energy Thermal energy is just energy. It refers to the energy of the molecules. Temperature is just a measurement
Is light thermal energy?
Thermal energy is not light. It is heat! Energy of heat and temperature of matter (more heat=more thermal energy=more movement of molecules) Temperature measures movement of molecules
Why does an object with more particles have more thermal energy than an object with fewer particles?
An object with more particles has more thermal energy because there are more particles vibrating and moving, which contributes to the overall thermal energy of the object. The more particles there are, the more kinetic energy is present in the system, leading to a higher overall thermal energy.
When does an object have more thermal energy when it is hot or cold?
An object has more thermal energy when it is hot, as higher temperatures correspond to greater thermal energy. Thermal energy is a measure of the internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles. As the temperature of an object increases, so does its thermal energy.
