Physical Science Chapter 6

Solar Heating System device that absorbs radiant energy from the sun

energy from the sun that is free renewable and can be used to heat homes and buildings

materials such as fleece or fiberglass that not allowed heat to move easily through them

transferring of energy by the mothion of heat particles in fluid

the transfer of energy through matter by colliding all particles are in constant motion

amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of material 1 K

Thermal Energy that flows from a warmer material to a cooler material (measured in Joules)

Total energy inclueding Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy of the partial that makes up a material is transferred by conduction, convection, radiation

A measure of the average Kinetic Energy of all the paarticles in an object

a type of heat that burns fel in side the engine

Device such as refrgerator that removes thermal energy from one place at a different temperature

transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves

device that converts thermal energy produced by combstion into mechanical energy
