Heat Transfer
The three types of heat transfer.
What are conduction, convection, and infrared radiation?
The five main types of energy.
What are gravitational potential, chemical potential, kinetic, geothermal, EMR, and nuclear energy?
The two types of nuclear energy.
What are fission and fusion?
Why heat always flows from hot to cold.
What is cold being the absence of heat?
The cleanest of the types of energy.
What is EMR?
Infrared radiation.
What is transferred by infrared wavelengths of EMR exciting the atoms in a substance?
Gravitational potential energy.
What can be harnessed by dams and turbines?
Nuclear fission.
In what, a proton is launched into an atom which then splits, launching other protons at other atoms and creating heat?
How we use chemical energy to generate electricity.
What is creating heat to pressurize water to turn a turbine?
This is the main gas that makes up the earth's atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
Conduction.
What is transferred by the propagation of vibration through a solid object?
Chemical potential energy.
What is stored in the bonds between molecules? When these bonds are broken, what is released?
Nuclear fusion.
What is where atoms are launched together so fast that they fuse?
How photovoltaic cells work.
How does the sun excite the atoms which then release energy in the form of electricity as they "cool off" again?
This is the most abundant element in the universe.
What is hydrogen?
Convection.
What is transferred by the propagation of vibration through a solid object?
Geothermal energy.
What heats water to create pressure which turns turbines to generate electricity for our use?
EMR radiation.
What is captured in photovoltaic cells to generate electricity for our use?
How fire transfers heat to the water in a glass beaker.
What is infrared radiation, conduction in the glass, and convection in the water?
How many bones there are in the human body.
How many bones is 206?
DNA stands for this.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The hardest substance on Earth.
What is diamond?
These two people famously came up with gravitational theories.
Who are Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein?
Kinetic energy.
What is caused by motion in the galaxies? (What can turn turbines to create electricity?)
The tallest type of grass in the world.
What is bamboo?
