Kobe Bryant has been the only player to get close to Chamberlainâs 100-point record by scoring 81 points in 2006 Ã¢â¬â itself a mind-numbing total for a contemporary player.
Substances that allow thermal energy to move easily through them are called conductors. Metals are good conductors of thermal energy. Substances that do not allow thermal energy to move through them easily are called insulators. Air and plastics are insulators.onvection happens when particles with a lot of thermal energy in a liquid or gas move, and take the place of particles with less thermal energy. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. In order to see this content you need to have both Javascript enabled and Flash installed.
The atoms and molecules that make up a substance are in constant motion. This movement is what gives a material its temperature: the more the molecules are moving about, the higher the temperature. Thermal energy is simply the energy possessed by a substance due to the movement of its atoms or molecules. It is important not to confuse this with heat, which is energy that is transferred from one place to another. Thermal energy has long been exploited by humans for cooking, heating, power generation and industry.
