Heat and Temperature Review

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat from one object to another through direct contact.

Front

What happens to the particles of a substance when heat is added?

Back

The particles will speed up.

Front

What is the unit used for measuring heat and energy?

Back

Joules.

Front

If two objects have different temperatures, what happens to the heat?

Back

Heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler one until they both have an equal temperature.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact no longer transfer heat to each other because they are at the same temperature.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Front

What is specific heat capacity?

Back

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