|
What is Thermal Energy
The energy of the motion of particles in matter.
|
What are insulators?
Materials that don't conduct thermal energy well.
|
What are light bulb and candles?
Items that waste heat.
|
What is from hot matter to cold matter?
Thermal energy is transferred naturally.
|
What is temperature?
This is used to measure the average energy of motion of the particles in matter.

|
What is the particles start close together and move faster as the solid heats up and turns into a gas?
The process of adding thermal energy
|
What is particles move faster
When thermal energy is added to matter.
|
What is radiation?
