Is the total random kinetic energy of particles in an object

Which has more thermal energy? Why?

A.Glass of water

B.Lake Acworth

• Is a flow of energy from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature

• Heat is the result of molecules vibrating quickly.

• Heat is moving energy.

• What happens when you add heat energy to a pot of water?

• The transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or particles.

• Heat transferred through space.

• EXAMPLE: The sun’s rays causing a sunburn.

• Heat transferred by the movement of molecules within a substance (liquids or gases).

• Movement occurs from warmer areas to cooler areas.

• The movement of a substance that is caused by differences in temperature and density.

• EXAMPLES: wind boiling water

• NATURE WANTS

EVERYTHING TO BALANCE ! !

• Conductors are materials that transfer heat easily.

• Examples: metals like copper and gold

• An insulator is a material that does not transfer heat easily.

• Examples: • liquids and gases• A jacket
