Energy - The ability to do work, which means using force to move and object over a distance, SI Unit for Energy - The Joule (J), Unit for the Rate of Heat Transfer - Joules/Second or a Watt, Kinetic Energy - The Energy of Motion, Potential Energy - The energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position, Temperature - The measure of average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system, Thermal Energy - The total kinetic energy in a system responsible for its temperature, Heat - The flow of thermal energy from one thing to another because of temperature difference., Thermal Equilibrium - A point where there is no net transfer of heat, Specific Heat - The quantity of hear required to raise the temperature, Conduction - Heat transfer that involves molecules transferring kinetic energy to one another through collisions, Convection - Heat transfer that occurs when hot fluids rise, allowing cooler liquids to come in and be heated, Fluid - A substance that doesn't have a fixed shape and possesses particles that can move past each other, Radiation - Heat transfer that occurs by electromagnetic waves that cause molecules to vibrate more quickly, Conductors - Materials or substances that readily allow heat and/or electricity to flow through them, Insulators - Materials or substances that do not readily allow heat and/or electricity to flow through them, Greenhouse Effect - The process by which infrared radiation is absorbed by "Greenhouse Gases", Greenhouse Gases - Gases that absorb infrared radiation and, through this energy transfer increase the temperature of the atmosphere, Thermodynamics - The science of exploring the transfer of energy from one thing to another, First Factor of Heat Tranfer - Temperature Difference, Second Factor of Heat Transfer - Type of Material, Third Factor of Heat Transfer - Surface Area, Fourth Factor of Heat Transfer - Distance Heat Need to Travel,
