Define the three methods of thermal energy transfer?

Conduction, convection, and radiation.


What do scientists define energy as?

Scientists define energy as the ability to do work or cause a change. It can exist in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, or electromagnetic energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another.


What is the relationship between cold and heat, and how can we define cold as the absence of heat?

Cold and heat are related in that they are both forms of thermal energy. Heat is the presence of thermal energy, while cold is the absence of heat. Cold can be defined as a lower level of thermal energy compared to heat.


Can work done on a system decrease its thermal energy?

Yes. As an example: if you define a refrigerator as your system, the work done on the system causes heat to be expelled from the system to the surroundings. The net heat expelled will be equal to the work input plus the decrease in its thermal energy.


Define heat energy?

Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a difference in temperature. It flows from an object at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.


What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?

"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".


Which energy increases as temperature increases?

The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.


How is heat different from thermal energy?

There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.


Does heat travel from cooler to warmer matter?

In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the energy in transfer between a system and its surroundings. In practice we consider the flow from the higher energy state to the lower energy state. In the case of thermal energy, from the body with the higher thermal energy (warmer) to the body with the lower thermal energy (cooler). In general, however, you may define the flow in either direction you wish, though if you define it as from cooler to warmer, the magnitude would be negative.
