Thermal Energy And Thermal Energy

The study of science is Physics. Physics means the natural science which involves the study of things made up atoms or matter, and along with related concepts such as energy and force. The experiment is Physics because we are using heat from the sun, and transferring the heat to the oven. So heat or thermal energy is the measure of the amount of energy that is contained in a material. Heat depends on how much of the material, which would be sunlight, you have: if you have twice the amount then normal of whatever you are testing, then you have to double the amount of heat you have. “Temperature is a measure of the ability of a substance, or more generally of any living or nonliving subject, to move the energy made of heat to another living or nonliving subject.” “But we need to remember that light slows down has it goes farther from the sun, and bends toward the normal and has a shorter wavelength when it enters a higher value medium (A substance that makes it possible for the energy to move to one location to another)”. “ Also a light wave is transverse (they can be polarized).”

Energy is a system’s “ability to do work.”(Elert) The unit for energy is joules. Some other characteristics of energy are that it takes numerous forms and that it is a scalar quantity.(Elert) The two types of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy refers to an object’s motion. This differs

Heat: The amount of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in matter.

605). Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it only changes form. There are several sources of heat. These sources are chemical, mechanical, electrical, and nuclear.

Entropy – A measure of how dispersed the energy in a system is at a specific temperature (S)

Energy is a concept.� Most definitions of the word energy fail to provide its exact meaning when applied to scientific matters.� In science the word energy is a concept that expresses two measurable properties, heat and work.� Here is the relationship of energy, heat and work:

There are two types of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy possessed due to motion, and potential motion is energy which

Distinguish between heat and temperature, and explain temperature using the concept of kinetic energy and the particle model of matter.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy reactant molecules must possess in order to form products.

Chemists refer to the energy stored in a substance as the heat content or enthalpy of the substance. The heat of reaction is determined by the difference in the enthalpy between the reactants and products.

Thermal energy is the energy a substance or system has related to its temperature. This means the energy of moving or vibrating molecules. Atoms and molecules are always in motion. Generally the motion of thermal energy cannot be seen, but instead the effects it has on the substance can be seen or felt. Thermal energy can have several different uses. It can be used to heat homes, cook food, and generate electricity.

Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between two substances at different temperatures. The flow of the energy is from the object of higher temperature to the object of lower temperature. The heat is measured in units of energy, usually calories or joules. Temperature on the other hand, is how cold or hot an object is. The temperature is the average kinetic energy per molecule of a substance. This is measured in degrees on the Celsius or Fahrenheit or in Kelvins.

Gottfried Leibniz first coined the term energy from the concept vis viva to refer to the square totality of an object’s mass and its speed, where total vis viva is stored. Energy is
