One way thermal energy moves in and out of the body of a lizard is through conduction. The lizard's body can absorb heat from the environment (conduction in) when it basks in the sun and lose heat to colder surfaces (conduction out) when it rests on a cooler substrate.

What are the 3 ways thermal energy moves?

Thermal energy moves through conduction where heat is transferred through direct contact, convection where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids, and radiation where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.


If your body temperature is 37c and you are sitting in a room which has the temperature of 25c does your body gain or lose thermal energy?

Heat (thermal energy) goes from the warmer thing to the colder thing. So, since your body is warmer than the room, your body loses thermal energy to the room.


Why temperature of a body doesnt measure quantity of thermal energy?

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a body. Two bodies at the same temperature can have different amounts of thermal energy depending on their size and mass. Temperature gives an indication of how fast the particles are moving, but not the total energy present.


What material poorly conducts thermal energy?

Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water. Thermal energy can be transferred from one body, usually hotter, to a second body, usually colder, in three ways: conduction , convection, and radiation. Insulator


Loss of infrared energy from the body is called what?

Loss of infrared energy from the body is called thermal radiation.

Explain whether your body gains or loses thermal energy if your body temp is 37 degrees Celsius and then temp around you is 25 degrees Celsius?

Your body would gain thermal energy because thermal energy only moves from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature.

What is the average speed of energy?

There is no single answer. Electromagnetic energy moves at the speed of light, about 300,000 km/sec. Acoustic energy moves at the speed of sound in whatever medium you are using. Kinetic energy moves with the speed of the moving body. Thermal energy moves through a conducting body at various speeds, depending on how well the material conducts heat. So energy as a general term does not have a specific speed.


What is the difference between thermal energy and kinetic energy?

Thermal energy is the energy possessed in a body due to its temperature.Hotter the substance more the thermal energy will be and vice versa. However ,kinetic energy is the energy of a body possessed in it due to its motion.Higher the velocity of body more will be the kinetic energy.


To maintain your body temperature your converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy true or false?

It is true that to maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.


Is food thermal energy?

No the body metabolizes it into thermal energy called calories


True or false To maintain your body temperature your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy?

True. Your body maintains its temperature through a process called thermoregulation, in which chemical energy from the food you eat is converted into thermal energy to help regulate your body temperature.


What can Thermal energy do?

Thermal energy (or heat) flows from a hotter body to a cooler one, and not the reverse
