Heat transfer
What is conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of heat and energy when 2 objects are touching
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy measures the energy contained in a object or the total kinetic energy
what is the highest temperature that the thermometer can reach?
110 degrees
What is volume?
Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter
what is convection?
Convection is the transfer of energy from particles with higher to lower kinetic energy in a liquid or gas causing them to move in circular patterns called convection currents. Or just simply convection is the transfer of heat using convection currents.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the speed of particles
what is the lowest the temperature on a thermometer can reach?
-30 degrees
What is a solid, and explain it
A solid has the following:
- the least amount of kinetic energy
- coldest and slowest moving particles
- fixed shape ( fixed volume)
- least amount of space between particles
- Keeps shape and size
- cannot be compressed
What is radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of energy by invisible waves that can travel great distances, also when radiant energy comes in contact with an object, the particles in the object increase in kinetic energy. The particles move faster and the object becomes hotter.
What is temperature?
Temperature measures the average amount of energy the particles have
What is the bulb in a thermometer used for?
The bulb in the thermometer is used to store the alcohol in the thermometer.
What is gas, and explain it
Gas has the following:
- Most kinetic energy
- hottest and fastest moving particles
- Most amount of space between particles
-Variable shape ( volume of container )
- takes shape of container
- compressible
what is a insulator?
An insulator is an object that does not let heat easily transfer through it.
What is heat?
Heat is energy transferred between two objects when there is a temperature difference
What is a liquid, and explain it
A liquid has the following:
Some kinetic energy (temperature higher than solid,
lower than gas)
Some space allows particles to move past one another
Variable shape (fixed volume)
Almost in-compressible
Takes shape of container
what is a conductor?
A conductor is a object that lets heat transfer though it easily, for example all metals
