The most famous examples of thermal energy?
A 12 ounce glass of water at 70 degrees has more thermal energy than a 12 ounce glass of water at 60 degrees.Adding ice to a glass of water causes the temperature of the water to decrease because the thermal energy in the water causes the ice to melt.A grill gives off thermal energy by burning propane.The sun's thermal energy heats our atmosphere.Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water.
What types of substances are best at conducting thermal energy?
The metal family
Why do metal things feel colder than a bottle?
Because metal is a better conduct of thermal energy than plastic 😃
Why doesn't paper burn when in contact with metal?
The metal absorbs the thermal energy before it can build up in the paper enough to ignite. The paper will eventually burn when the metal itself absorbs enough energy to ignite the paper.
Can energy be stored in any metal?
Yes. The metal can be heated up so that it contains thermal energy. If it's perfectly insulated the energy will stay there until it's released. The amount of energy is mass tes temperature rise times specific heat which is a property of each metal.
Is metal a thermal conductivity?
Yes, metal will conduct heat energy
What material is good conductor of thermal energy?
a metal

What element is a good conductors of thermal energy and electric current?
a metal

The metal family
What metal is the highest final temperature after the heat energy has been added?
The metal with the lowest thermal capacity.
What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
What is shiny element good conductor of thermal energy and electric currents?
a metal
Why a metal feels colder to touch than wood kept in a cold place?
Metal is a thermal conductor and wood is a thermal insulator.when you touch the metal the energy transfer rapidlyto the metal,making it colder.when you touch the wood the energy transfer very slowly from your hand to the wood kept in a cold place.
A person places a metal spoon that is at room temperature into a bowl of hot soup how will the thermal energies of the spoon and the soup be affected?
the spoon will increase in thermal energy, and the soup will decrease in thermal energy. Reason: Thermal energy is the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object. When the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases enough, it melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than its solid state. If the liquid continues to gain thermal energy, its particles speed up more. When the particles of a liquid have absorbed enough energy to escape the forces between them, the liquid becomes a gas. The substance has undergone another phase change. As the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object increases, the object gets warmer. Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one.
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Are coins conductors or insulator of thermal energy?
Being metal they conduct heat AND electricity.
