Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.

Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?

An insulator


Does temperature increase with increase in velocity?

No, temperature does not increase directly with velocity. Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system, whereas velocity is a specific measure of the speed and direction of an object's movement. While an increase in velocity can lead to an increase in kinetic energy, it does not necessarily result in a direct increase in temperature.


How does fire produce thermal energy?

A fire is a chemical reaction. The chemical energy in the fuel is converted into heat energy. Usually, then, the increased temperature further speeds up the process - that is, makes it easier for other atoms or molecules to react.


Why is invar so often used to make acurate thecnical instrements that are used in hot situations?

Invar is often used to make accurate technical instruments for hot situations because it has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, meaning it does not expand or contract much with temperature changes. This stability helps maintain the precision and accuracy of the instruments even in high-temperature environments where other materials might deform or lose calibration.


How does a pool heater work?

A pool heater typically uses either gas or electricity to generate heat, which is then transferred to the pool water through a heat exchanger. The heated water is circulated back into the pool to raise the overall temperature. The heater can be adjusted to maintain a desired temperature setting for the pool.

Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?

The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.


Why doesnt air temperature change uniformly with altitude?

Altitude doesn't change uniformly because the four main layers of the atmosphere have different temperature gradients, creating the thermal structure of the atmosphere.

What properties do good calorimeter have?

A good calorimeter should have high thermal insulation to minimize heat loss, a sensitive temperature measurement system, and a stable construction to avoid interference from external factors. It should also be designed to accurately measure specific heat capacity and be able to conduct experiments under controlled conditions.
