Energy in transit from a warm substance to a cooler one

Heat

100

This is when hot and cold particles in a fluid mix and collide, causing slower, cooler molecules to gain energy and speed up

Heat transfer by convection 

100

This is the process of transferring energy from one machine or person to another

Work

100

According to internal energy, atoms in any substance always have _____ energy 

Kinetic. Even solids! The particles vibrate 

100

State the law of conservation of energy AND the equation for Mass-Energy Equivalence 

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed and changed in form. E=MC2

200

A state where 2 objects are at the same temperature and there is no heat flow between them

Thermal Equilibrium 

200

Why is it incorrect to say that an object has heat in it? 

Its particles are just moving faster 

200

When work is performed, a _____ is applied to an object, and the object is moved a certain distance in the direction of the force. This process always results in _____ transfer 

Force, energy 

200

This is the sum of all the kinetic energies of the particles in a substance 

Internal energy 

200

Consider a glass of ice water sitting in the windowless room in a house. The temp in the room is 72 degrees. Describe how energy from the room finds its way into the ice cubes to melt them?

The kinetic energy from the warmer air vibrates the ice cube molecules

300

When energy is transferred from a warm object to a cooler one by infrared radiation, conduction, or convection 

Heat Transfer 

300

Distinguish between conduction and convection

Conduction: solids

Convection: liquids 

300

A group of boys are pushing a car trying to get it to move. Is the car doing work on the boys or are the boys doing work on the car

Boys doing work on the car 

300

Explain what is going on when a brick wall is in the sun? IN DETAIL

-Electromagnetic radiation from the sun. Hot air molecules hit the bricks and transfer kinetic energy to the brick atoms. Eventually the bricks heat the air around it. The atoms in the bricks "heat up" they actually just vibrate faster

300

When 2 objects are rubbing against each other, they get hot. What is this heat and where is it coming from? 

Thermal energy. Comes from conversion of Kinetic energy and the particles moving faster 

400

In E=MCwhat does each variable stand for?

E= energy

M= Mass

C= Speed of light


400

What are the 3 ways heat can transfer from one substance to another

Conduction, convection, and radiation 

400

Work is the _____ process of transferring energy from one machine or person to another

Mechanical 

400

You leave a closed can of soda out in the sun. Explain the internal energy. After sitting in the sun all day, explain how the soda can got hot?

The soda and the liquid have some kinetic energy. After being in the sun all day, the internal energy has increased and the particles are moving much faster

400

The internal energy of a substance can be increased in 2 ways

Heating or compressing the substance into a smaller volume

500

The Theory that heat and kinetic energy are different forms of the same thing (energy) and may be converted from one form to another

Mechanical equivalent of heat 

500

Describe a pot of boiling water using each of these terms: Conduction, convection, radiation, kinetic energy, heat transfer, fluid

Radiation from the heat source, kinetic energy of the moving particles, fluid moving, conduction handle, convection fluid moving. Heat transfer from the faster particles 

500

When work is being done, the force doing the work and the distance involved must point in the _____ direction. If they are at _____ angles, no work is done 

same direction, right angles 

500

What is the difference between internal energy and thermal energy 

Thermal energy refers specifically to the portion of the internal energy that id due to heating. Internal energy is the sum.  

500

Name AND describe 3 ways heat can transfer from one substance to another. 

Conduction, convection, electromagnetic radiation
