heat

• Internal Energy - The total energy of the particles.
• Temperature - is a measure of the average energy of the motion of particles
• Heat - is the transfer of internal energy from a warmer object to a cooler one due to the difference in their temperature.
• Heat transfer - between bodies occur solely because of the temperature difference between them.
• Thermal Equilibrium - a condition in which there is no net flow of internal energy.
• Conduction - type of heat transfer that occurs through direct contact.
• Convection - another way by which heat can be transferred is though the movement of fluids
• Radiation - the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves
• Thermal conductors - material that allow heat to transfer easily
• Thermal insulators - materials that are considered poor conductors pf heat
