Which two processes can generate energy to help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure?
Nuclear fusion is the primary process in stars that generates energy by fusing lighter elements into heavier ones. Gravitational contraction is another process where a star generates energy by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy. Both processes contribute to maintaining the star's internal thermal pressure.
What atomic particles is instrumental in the transfer of thermal energy?
The atomic particles instrumental in the transfer of thermal energy are called phonons. Phonons are quantized lattice vibrations that carry thermal energy through a material by transferring momentum between atoms.
Does thermal energy always travel from cooler to warmer objects?
Well the predictable pattern is when the warmer object always flows energy to the cooler until they both are the same temp
What type of energy are involved in this process?
The types of energy involved in a process can vary, but common ones include mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, and potential energy. The specific energies involved depend on the nature of the process and the interactions between different forms of energy.
What form of energy is found in candle ones lighted?
The energy in a lit candle comes from the chemical reaction of the wax with oxygen in the air, producing heat and light through combustion. This chemical energy is converted into thermal (heat) and radiant (light) energy when the candle burns.

What are the 8 main forms of energy?
Mechanical Energy, Gravitational Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Thermal Energy, Electromagnetic Energy, and Nuclear Energy are the ones that I know.

What types of energy does a burning fire produce?
A fire produces heat and light energy. Does that help any? No it really doesn't help Its radiant and thermal energy. -E
What machine or appliance uses thermal energy?
The generic name is "heat engine". Examples include combustion engines, such as the ones used in cars.

How can a conduction transfer energy?
Conduction transfers energy through direct contact between particles. It occurs when hotter particles collide with colder particles, transferring energy to the colder ones until thermal equilibrium is reached. Materials that are good conductors allow energy to flow easily, while insulators resist energy transfer.
When a liquid becomes a solid where does the heat energy in the liquid go?
A gas has more heat energy, often called thermal energy, than a liquid, even if both the liquid and gas are at the same temperature. Consider that the gas molecules have more thermal energy than liquid molecules of that same substance. The gas molecules are "free" to move around more because they have more kinetic energy than molecules of the liquid. And kinetic energy is function of thermal energy. If we consider the case of water molecules to illustrate our point, when a pan of water is boiling, the water molecules escaping the pan as a gas have more kinetic energy than the ones making up the liquid water that is still in the pan. Also consider the case of water that is evaporating. Wet your finger and blow on it. The liquid water on your finger cools as the evaporating water molecules take thermal energy from that liquid to make their change of state possible. It takes an increase of thermal (heat) energy to change a liquid into a gas.
When does an energy transfer take place?
You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.
Is there any such thing as a thermal teakettle?
Yes, many electric ones are - with a removeable cord.
