What is Charles's Law?
Constant pressure. The temperature of a gas increases and its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is decreased its volume decreases.
When Heat is applied to an object what happens to its atoms?
The atoms start moving faster as they have more energy.
What is potential energy?
Result of the forces that act between the atoms that make up an object.
What is tempature?
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in an object.
The total potential and kinetic energy is known as its ____ energy.
Its thermal energy.
What are the factors thermal energy depends on?
Temperature, state of matter, and amount of atoms in the subject.
What is heat?
The transfer of thermal energy, from a warmer object object to a colder object.
What is Boyle’s law?
Temperature is constant. Increase pressure and decrease volume. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increases. When pressure increases volume decreases.
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object depends on?
type of substance that makes it up, phase of the substance, ammount of atoms in the object, envioment
What is specific heat capisity?
The amount of heat (joules) that is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one degree celsus
What are Jouls?
A unit of energy.
High heat capisity makes it _____ to change the heat of an object.
harder.
