Something is conducting thermal energy if it is hot or cold to touch. Heat is thermal energy and heat can be felt by either the feeling of cold, or hot.

How can you tell a glass of water has thermal energy?

You can tell a glass of water has thermal energy if it feels warm or hot to the touch. Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules, so a warmer temperature indicates higher thermal energy in the water.


Which type of energy transformation is involved in a match being struck and lit?

The energy transformation involved in striking and lighting a match is primarily chemical to thermal energy. When the match is struck, friction creates heat, causing the chemicals in the match head to react and produce a flame, which is a release of thermal energy.


What are the rules of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. Energy can exist in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy. Energy can also be transferred through heat, work, or mass.


How does thermal energy of soild water change as it melts?

As solid ice melts into liquid water, the thermal energy absorbed by the ice increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules. This results in a temperature increase as the solid transitions into a liquid state. The thermal energy absorbed during melting is used to break the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the solid ice lattice.


How can you tell if something has stored energy?

You can tell if something has stored energy by observing signs like potential to do work, change in shape, or stored forces like tension or compression. Common examples include stretched rubber bands, compressed springs, or charged batteries.

How can you tell whether one glass of water has more thermal energy than the other?

You would need to calculate, or estimate, the thermal energy.


How can you tell when some thing has energy?

You can tell if has thermal energy by its temperature, and you can tell if it has kinetic energy because it is moving. But you can't easily tell what materials will release chemical energy or nuclear energy, without doing scientific tests on them.


Which of the jars shows the substance with the most thermal energy?

I'll just bet I could answer that, if you'd tell me something about each jar, or let me have a quick look at them.


Tell me about engine?

An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.


How can you tell whether one glass of water has more thermal energy than another identical glass of water?

How you can tell is the temperature between the two liquids. If one of the liquid's temperature is warmer than the other one, then that liquid has more thermal energy.


How can you tell when something has energy?

You can tell something has energy when that object has mass based on Einstien's theory based on relativety E=MC²


How can you tell if one glass of water has more thermal energy than another glass of water?

If you put a thermometer in each glass the one that reads the highest temperature has the most thermal energy
