Heat/Energy Study Guide

AB
The unit of heat is calledcalorie.
The mL is a unit of measurement ofvolume.
The gram is a unit of measurement ofmass.
The calorie is a unit of measurement ofheat.
The general kinds of energy arekinetic and potential.
Kinetic energy isthe energy of motion.
Kinetic energy increases as velocityincreases.
Potential energy isenergy that is stored up.
Potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed iselastic potential energy.
Lifting an object to various heights gives it potential to do work isgravitational potential energy.
Energy associated with motion or position of an object ismechanical energy.
______ is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another.Heat.
Energy stored inside of atoms (e x. food)chemial energy.
Moving of electric charges is _____ energy.electrical energy.
Two general kinds of energy arekinetic and potential.
As an orange falls from its greatest height, what kind of energy increases?kinetic.
As an orange falls from its greatest height, what kind of energy decreases?gravitational potential.
Energy that can be used over and over without running out isrenewable energy.
Eventually, fuel runs out. Therefore, fuel is a.non-renewable source of energy.
Matter is made up of very tinyatoms.
Average kinetic energy istemperature.
Total kinetic energy isheat.
T or F - most matter can exist in three states.True.
The terms that identify states of matter aresolid, liquid, gas.
The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid is calledmelting point.
The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid is calledfreezing point.
A change from a liquid to a gas is calledvaporization.
A change from the gas state to the liquid state is calledcondensation.
The expanding of matter when it is heated is known asthermal expansion.
The ways that heat can move areconduction, radiation, convection.
How is heat transferred in convection?Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid.
The circular motion of fluid caused by rising and sinking of heated and cooler fluid isconvection current.
T or F --heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.True.
T or F - Radiation requires matter to transfer energy.False.
Heat transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself isconduction.
Heat transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid isconvection.
Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves isradiation.
An example of conduction ismetal spoon in hot water.
An example of convection isheating a building or the atmosphere.
An example of radiation isthe sun heating the Earth.
When heat flows from one substance to another, what happens to the temperature of the substance giving off and the substance receiving the heat?substance giving off decreases, substance receiving heat increases.
A material that conducts heat well isa conductor.
A material that does not conduct heat well isan insulator.
Examples of conductors aresilver, tile.
Examples of insulators areair, fiberglass.
A substance's specific heat isthe amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of the substance by 1 kelvin.
Does mass change during heating?No.
The conservation of energy iswhen energy is transformed from one form to another.
Most substances _____ when heated.expand.
Most substances _____ when they are cooled.contract.
What were the fixed points you used as reference points when making your temperature scale?freezing and boiling points of water.
What is the freezing point of water in celcius?0 degrees.
What is the freezing point of water in fahrenheit?32 degrees.
What is the boiling point of water in celcius?100 degrees
What is the boiling point of water in fahrenheit?212 degrees.
When an iron bar is heated it expands. Explain in terms of the Heat is energy model.atoms move faster, collide, spread apart.
The end of a copper wire is heated, the other end eventually becomes hot. Explain in ters of the heat is energy model.atoms move faster, collide, domino effect (to other end).
