The transfer of energy by electromagnetic rays which may occur in empty space.
radiation
The average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material, measured by a thermometer in degrees.
temperature
Conduction between two objects can only occur when –
both objects are in physical contact with each other
True or False: Heat transfer happens when some energy moves from one object to another object.
True

radiation
The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of fluids, which occurs on a large scale in atmospheric gases, occeans and earth’s mantle.
convection
The total kinetic energy of tiny particles that make up matter is –
thermal energy

Convection
A transfer of heat occurs while ironing a shirt. This is what type of thermal heat transfer?
Conduction
Give an example of conduction.
Any answer that shows the transfer of heat by direct contact.
Regarding thermal energy, the faster the tiny particles of matter move, the colder the matter becomes. (True or False)
False
True or False: The faster particles move in matter, the cooler the matter is.
False

Conduction
The transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch.
conduction
True or False: Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects until both reach the same temperature.
True
