Heat
How can heat be transferred?
Through conduction, convection, and radiation.
What are conductors?
Materials that allow heat/energy to pass through them.
What is conduction?
When energy is directly transferred through objects.
The United States uses what type of temperature measurement?
Fahrenheit.
What does equilibrium mean?
A balanced state.
Heat flows from warm to cold or cold to warm?
Warm to cold.
What are insulators?
Materials that trap heat and do not allow energy to pass through them.
What is convection?
When energy is transferred through a liquid or gas.
How can you find the temperature of an object?
You can add up the speed of the molecules and divide it by the number of molecule.
What is temperature?
The average kinetic energy.
True or False: Heat/energy and thermal energy are the same.
False.
What are some examples of conductors?
Metals like copper, steel, and gold.
What is radiation?
When energy is transferred through waves that can travel through air or space.
How do you find the total thermal energy of an object?
You add up all the number of the speed of the molecules.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy that moves.
How do you measure thermal energy in Amplify?
Kilo-joules.
What are some examples of insulators?
Foam and glass.
When you cook your food on a pan, what type of energy transfer is this?
Conduction.
What is the formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius?
F = (9/5)C + 32.
What is potential energy?
Stored energy.
How does Amplify measure energy/heat?
Celsius.
Why do people use insulators to keep things warm?
So no heat can escape the container and contents will stay warm.
What type of energy transfer does the groundwater system use?
Convection.
What is absolute zero?
The lowest possible temperature when molecules aren't moving.
What is stability?
When something stays the same over time.
