Scientific Models
Define Energy
The ability to do work or make things happen.
What are the two main types of waves based on how they transfer energy.
Define Heat
the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another.
What animal can be seen on the porsche logo?
Define a scientific model
a representation used to explain or simplify a scientific idea.
Which waves can travel through a vacuum without particles.
Electromagnetic waves
Define Temperature
the measurement of kinetic energy in particles.
What is the tallest type of tree in the world
California Redwoods
Which model explains energy transfer without matter moving through space.
The wave model
Explain how transverse and logitudinal waves move particles
Longitudinal = Parrallel through compressions and rarefactions.
Transverse = has particles moving perpendicular to energy transfer.
What temperature is absolute zero
Which footballer is known as the Egyptian King
Mohamed Salah
Which model explains energy transfer by particles passing energy through contact or movement.
Particle model
If frequency increases this decreases
Wavelength
This explains why heat always moves from a hot object to a colder one.
heat transfer occurring from higher temperature to lower temperature due to particle energy differences
Which river basin is the largest in Australia crossing over 3 states and 1 territory
The Murray-Darling River basin
What is one thing that scientific models cannot do
all models have limitations and are selected based on their explanatory power rather than being exact representations of reality
Define oscillation
A repeated back-and-forth movement in waves.
contrast temperature and thermal energy
Temperature = while heat is the transfer of that energy
Thermal energy = thermal energy is contained in particles
Who is the only person who can dismiss the elected government in Australia including the prime minister?
The Governor-General
