Temperature and Thermal Energy
Across
- 5. a device that converts some thermal energy into mechanical energy
- 10. materials with a low specific heat in which thermal energy moves quickly
- 12. Thermal energy depends on _______.
- 13. states that energy spontaneously spreads from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration
- 15. the transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by movements of warmer and cooler fluid
Down
- 1. a device that transforms radiant energy from the Sun into thermal energy
- 2. a heat engine that burns fuel inside a set of cylinders
- 3. the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of all of the particles that make up that object
- 4. the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up that object
- 6. the study of the relationships between thermal energy, heat, and work
- 7. states that if the mechanical energy of a system is constant, the increase in thermal energy of a system is constant, the increase in thermal energy of that system equals the sum of the thermal energy transfers into that system and the work done on that system
- 8. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves, such as light and microwaves
- 9. the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of that material by 1 degree celsius
- 11. materials with a high specific heat in which thermal energy moves slowly
- 14. the transfer of thermal energy by collisions
