Heat

Heat, Temperature, & Heat Transfer

AB
Example of ConductionPicking up a hot cup of coffee and hand getting warm
Heata form of energy in moving particles; depends on how many particles and temperature
Trueall atoms have heat because the atoms or molecules that make matter are in constant motion (T or F)
TemperatureHow fast particles are moving
Heat energy always moves from...warmer to cooler substances
Poor conductorsinsulators
Type of good conductormetals
Conductionthe transfer of heat within a substance by direct contact; heat energy is transferred
Conduction occurs between objects indirect contact (touching)
ConductorA material which energy can be easily transferred through as heat
Examples of good insulatorsa jacket; wood, plastic, air
Expansion happens (expanding)molecules move apart; its temperature is raised
InsulatorPrevents heat from flowing in or out of a material.
Freezing point of water0 degrees Celsius; 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Boiling point of water100 degrees Celsius; 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Name two examples of conductionYour hand touching a hot dish, a metal pot warming
Degreeunit used to measure temperature; measure of how hot or cold something is
ConvectionHeat transfer that occurs in liquids and gases. Warm areas rise and cool areas sink. These are called convection currents.
RadiationHeat transfer that occurs in waves. Radiation can travel through space and empty space.
