Heat-
The difference in temperature when energy is transferres between objects
Temperature-
Proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in an object
Specific heat-
How much energy is required to raise an objects temperature
Temperature moves from-
High to low
Convection
T
ransfer of energy by movement of a fluid with different temperatures (hot air rises cold air sinks)
Conduction
Transfer of energy as heat when molecules collide
Radiation
Transfer of energy by electomagnetic waves (the sun)
Insulator
Gains and loses heat slowly (plastic, stryfoam)
Conductor
Gains and loses heat quickly (metals)
Kinetic energy
As the kinetic energy of a substance increases the temperature increases
