What is the SI unit for temperature

Kelvin is the SI unit for thermodynamic temperature.

symbol: K (there are no degrees, unlike °C and °F).

How is energy transferred within the earth's atmosphere and throughout the oceans

by Convection

Which compound machine consists of both fixed and movable pulleys

block and tackle

What term describes a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in matter

temperature

How is the energy of the sun transferred through the void of space

radiation

Resultant velocity is calculated using which two math functions

"addition and subtraction"
Resultant velocity refers to the sum of all vectors in an equation. The two math functions that are used to calculate the resultant velocity are addition and subtraction.

What is the term for the vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density

Convection currents are vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density.

What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity

A calorimeter can be used to calculate specific heat capacity.

What do fixed pulleys always do

change the direction of force

What changes when the amount of a substance changes

total thermal energy

Part of a lever on which effort force is applied

The effort arm of a lever is a part of the lever on which effort force is applied. Resistance arm of a lever is a part of the lever that exerts the resistance force.

V-cube 7 or megaminx

Which term defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently

Something that transfers thermal energy efficiently is called a conductor.

What infroemation is needed to calculate the amount of energy needed to heat a volume of water to some temperature

You need to know the amount of water (mass), how many degrees you want to heat it up, and the specific heat of water. Then - if everything is in compatible units - you must simply multiply the three together.

Which term defines something that does not transfer thermal energy efficiently

conductor

Which of these would you expect to make a good insulator

a poor thermal conductor
