What Matters
This state of matter has a low kinetic energy but high potential energy.
What is a solid?
The thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree.
What is the specific heat capacity?
What is conduction?
This temperature scale is based upon the freezing point and boiling point of water.
What is the Celsius scale?
The process of thermal energy being transferred from one place to another due to temperature difference.
What is heat?
This state of matter has a high kinetic energy but low potential energy.
What is a gas?
The thermal energy required to change one kilogram during phase change.
What is latent heat capacity?
A transfer of heat caused by cyclical movement within a liquid or gas?
What is convection?
This temperature scale is based upon the point at which particle motion has stopped.
What is the Kelvin scale?
The microscopic kinetic energy of a substance.
What is thermal energy?
Particles are able to slide past one another within this state of matter.
What is a liquid?
Q=mc/_\T
What is the specific heat capacity formula?
The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles.
What is radiation?
This refers to the point at which particle motion has seemed to stop.
What is Absolute Zero?
The measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system.
What is temperature?
The period in which an object changes its state of matter.
What is phase change?
Q=mL
What is the latent heat capacity formula?
Movement caused within a fluid or gas generated by an external source.
What is forced convection?
This common substance has a boiling point 100oC and a freezing point of 0oC.
What is water?
A balance of thermal energy between two objects in a system.
What is thermal equilibrium?
This state of matter is highly influenced by electromagnetic fields.
What is plasma?
-underset(L)(Q)=underset(G)(Q)
What is the formula for calorimetry?
Movement of an object's particles is able to raise the thermal energy of said object.
What is the relationship between heat and mechanical work?
Converting between these scales means adding or subtracting 273oC.
What is Kelvin-Celsius conversion?
The transfer of energy from a system with a higher temperature to a system with a lower temperature will occur until thermal equilibrium is reached.
What is the zeroth law of thermodynamics?
