Heat & Materials

Front

What affects the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a material?

Back

The material's chemical makeup affects the amount of heat required.

Front

Which material requires more heat to raise its temperature: Sand, Water, Metal, or Air?

Back

Water requires more heat to raise its temperature.

Front

What does the law of energy conservation state about heat and energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when energy is transferred to an object?

Back

Kinetic energy increases when energy is transferred to an object.

Front

Which material is a great conductor of heat: Glass, Rubber, Wood, or Copper?

Back

Copper is a great conductor of heat.

Front

Define heat.

Back

Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures.

Front

What is thermal conductivity?

Back

Thermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat.

Front

Explain the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation.

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, convection is heat transfer through fluid movement, and radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is specific heat capacity?

Back

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance also increases.
