Energy
What kind of energy is due to an object's motion?
Kinetic energy
How are the particles arranged and how do they move in a solid?
They stick together and vibrate in place
This state of matter has a definite volume but not a definite shape
Liquid
Heat moving through direct contact of particles
Conduction
What does temperature measure?
Kinetic Energy
What kind of energy is due to how an object's position or ability to do something?
Potential Energy
How are the particles arranged and how do they move in a liquid?
They are together, but slide by one another
This state of matter has a no definite shape or volume
Heat moving fluidly in a liquid or gas
Convection
When temperature increases, causing the volume to also increase, this is an example of what?
Thermal Expansion
What kind of energy is based off of both an object's motion AND position? (The two other kinds of energy?)
Thermal Energy
How are the particles in a gas arranged and how do they move?
They are spread out and "zoom" all over the place
This state of matter has a definite shape and definite volume
Solid
Heat transfering through empty space
Radiation
When temperature decreases, causing the volume to also decrease, this is an example of what?
Thermal Contraction
When solid ice melts into liquid water, what kind of energy was added to the ice?
Thermal energy
As temperature increases, what happens to the speed and the space between particles?
It increases as well
Gas can do something the other states of matter can not. When we decrease the amount of space between gas particles, what did we do to the gas?
We compressed it
We know that heat is transferring when we feel what?
Heat
Why do puddles dry faster on a hot, windy day compared to a cold, calm day?
There is more heat on a hot day, making the puddle disappear faster
When a ball is thrown straight up into the air, when does it have the MOST Potential energy, and the LEAST amount of kinetic energy?
At the highest point it was thrown
Why does liquid water take the shape of its container, but ice does not?
In liquids, particles can move past one another; in solids, particles are locked in fixed positions.
What is the most common thing on earth that can be found as a solid, liquid, and a gas?
Water
A pot of soup on the stove is being heated. Describe all three types of heat transfer occurring and where they happen.
Conduction (between pot and soup), convection (circulating soup), and radiation (from the stove burner to the pot)
A balloon is placed over the mouth of a flask and the flask is heated. The balloon expands. Explain this using energy, particles, and heat transfer.
Heat transfers by conduction to the air, increasing particle motion and kinetic energy. The faster-moving particles spread out, increasing volume and inflating the balloon.
