What else can I help you with?
Can thermal energy be cold?
No, thermal energy cannot be cold. Thermal energy is a form of energy that is related to the temperature of an object or substance. Cold temperatures indicate a lower amount of thermal energy, while hot temperatures indicate a higher amount of thermal energy.
In which direction does thermal energy flow, from hot to cold?
Yes, thermal energy flows from hot to cold.
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.
Do cold things have heat?
No, cold things do not have heat. Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from hot objects to cold objects. Cold objects have less heat energy compared to hot objects.
Is the energy that flows from a hot object to a cold object it is in contact with is called kinetic energy?
No, the energy that flows from a hot object to a cold object is called heat energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of an object.
In what sense do we say there is no such thing as cold?
We say there is no such thing as cold because cold is the absence of heat, just as darkness is the absence of light. Cold is a subjective perception of the absence of warmth, rather than a tangible entity in itself.
What is meant by saying that cold is not a tangible thing?
When we say that cold is not a tangible thing, we mean that cold is actually the absence of heat. It is a subjective perception of the presence of heat or energy, rather than a physical entity that can be touched or measured. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in an object, so when an object feels cold, it is because it is absorbing heat energy from its surroundings.
Heat let us feel hot or clod?
heat is actually a form of energy and should not be confused with temperature. if something feels hot that means the thing you touched is hotter than you, and that as a result energy from that thing is flowing into your hand; if your hand is hotter than the thing, then it will actually feel cold to you, as energy flows out of your hand into that thing. So, the flow of heat can make us feel either hot or cold, depending on which way the energy flows (into or out of our bodies).
Is 'cold' a kind of energy or is it the absence of heat energy?
There is no such thing as "cold" - it's just a concept/term for the absence of heat. Heat and cold are opposite sides of the same coin. You cannot have one without the other. In this sense it is part of any 'heat' engine.
Does an ice cube in your drink release cold particles into your drink or absorb the heat from your drink?
it absorbs it. there is no such thing as cold energy, and even less so "cold particles," only heat flow.
Explain why do not have as much Kinetic Energy when the thermal energy was low?
The item or thing that you are speaking of would have to be cold to lose Thermal Energy. But, it wasn't bouncing high so it wasn't doing nay work.
Do both hot and cold have energy?
Yes (with the exception of absolute zero) but the energy in hot and cold is always heat energy. (Cold is defined as the absence of heat)
What best describes the motion of molecules?
um .... its the kinetic energy which helps to move the molecules when the thing is hot then the kinetic energy helps the molecules move faster and when things are some what cold then the kinetic energy moves slower . the thing may be food or etc ...... .
Can a container of hot water have the same thermal energy as a container of cold water?
No, it can't have the same thermal energy. The hot water loses energy to the surroundings. Cold is an absence of energy, as energy is removed the water becomes cold.
When you hold onto a cold item your hands feel cold why does this happen?
because the cold energy is moving toward the warm energy and the cold is taking over.
Does cold travel from the surface to your hand or does energy travel from your hand to the cold surface?
Energy travels from your hand to the cold surface. Cold is merely the relative absence of heat.
Can thermal energy be cold?
No, thermal energy cannot be cold. Thermal energy is a form of energy that is related to the temperature of an object or substance. Cold temperatures indicate a lower amount of thermal energy, while hot temperatures indicate a higher amount of thermal energy.
