What it Thermal Energy?
• The dictionary definition of Thermal Energy would be considered “Total Kinetic Energy of the System.”
![Page 3: Thermal Energy And You](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453c789af795907578b4605/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wait?! What’s Kinetic Energy?
• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. How much you have depends on the mass and speed of a substance. Thermal Energy refers to the Kinetic Energy of the microscopic particles(molecules). The Higher the temperature the faster the particles.

You mentioned temperature, like how hot something is, right….?
• Not exactly. Temperature is basically the average kinetic energy a substance obtains.• No, this is not considered “how hot.”
Heat is in this context a verb and is the act of transferring Thermal Energy.

Are there different types of heat transfer??
• Yes only 3, Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.

Conduction??• This is the transfer of thermal Energy by direct contact. ( or the
transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle).• Examples: Touching a stove and being burned• -Ice cooling down your hand• -Boiling water by thrusting a red• -hot piece of iron into it• Hugging another and getting heated and hot after a while.

Convection??• Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from the movement of
molecules.• Examples: Warm, rising air (thermals) due to heat rising from the earth.
As the warm air rises, cool air comes in from the sides to take its place. This sets up a circulating flow of air.Also, watch a glass beaker of boiling water over a not-too-high Bunsen flame, or see a pan on the stove. Note the water is rising and falling in a circular manner.

Radiation??• Radiation is the transfer of heat from waves(Electromagnetic ).• Examples: A microwave. It sends out microwaves which radiate the water
molecules in the object in the microwave and excite them and that's why the object will get hot.
• visible light• infrared or ultraviolet

So…How Do I Know How Much Thermal Energy I Have?
• There is the total thermal energy equation of course.
• (Tf-Ti)t . (mass)(Cp)• Tf-Ti (Temp. Final – Temp. Initial)is the change
in temperature in your data• T is temperature• Cp is the Specific heat Capacity• “.” Is multiply

The Process of Losing and Gaining
• There are two changes to thermal energy: Endothermic change and an Exothermic change.

Endothermic Change
• This is a change in which energy is aborbed. • The substance takes in energy and the molecules
move faster as result.• Examples: Ice cream gains energy and therefore
thermal energy and proceeds to melt.

Exothermic Change
• This is a change in which energy is released.• The substance loses energy and the particles
move slower as a result.• Example: The Atomic bomb explodes and
releases energy.
