​The transfer of energy from one particle of matter to another particle of matter.

​​Conduction

​​Convection

​The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves (light energy waves).

Radiation​

media

52

media

​Heat Transfer Examples

53

Conduction

Energy transfer between particles of matter that touch directly.

  • As heat is added to a material, the particles begin to vibrate more which means kinetic energy increases.

  • Conduction happens through direct touch/contact between objects.​

54

Convection

Heat transfer through movement of fluids.

  • Fluids are materials that can flow, like liquids and gases.

  • The particles at the bottom heat up and become less dense. This causes them to rise and push the colder and denser molecules down.

  • This movement is called a Convection Current​

55

Radiation

Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves.

  • The only form of heat transfer that does not require matter.

  • Heat you can feel but do not always see.

  • This is how we receive heat from the sun since it is able to pass through the vacuum of space where there is not matter present for it to travel through.

56

57

Multiple Choice

What causes a convection current and keeps it going?

1

2

Cold particles steal the heat from the hot particles.

3

Hot particles rise, pushing the cold particles down toward the heat source.

4

Convection currents do not move at all.

The Sun-

  • is the most massive object in our Solar System

  • governs the motion of all other bodies in the system by the force of gravity. 

  • (Bodies of the Solar System remain in their orbital paths due to a balance between gravitational forces and the constant forward motion of the celestial bodies.)

68

Gravity

  • is a force of attraction

  • between

  • two or more masses (objects).

69

Strength of the Gravitational Attraction

  • depends on the mass of the objects involved

  • and on the distance between them.

70

Gravity

Gravitational attraction exhibited by an object increases with increasing mass. If the distance between objects increases, gravitational attraction between the objects decreases.

DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
Plotting distance against time can tell you a lot
about motion. Let's look at the axes:

133

media
media

If an object is not moving, a horizontal line is
shown on a distance-time graph.

Time is increasing to the

right, but its

distance does not change.

It is not

moving. We say it is At

Rest.

134

media
media

If an object is moving at a constant speed, it means it
has the same increase in
distance in a given time:

Time is increasing to the right,

and distance is increasing

constantly with time. The object

moves at a constant speed.

Constant speed is shown by

straight lines on a graph.

135

media
media

Lets look at two moving objects:
Both of the lines in the graph show that each object
moved the same distance, but the
steeper dashed line got there before the other one:

A steeper line indicates a larger
distance moved in a given time.
In other words, higher speed.

Both lines are straight, so both

speeds are constant.

136

media
media

Graphs that show acceleration look different from
those that show constant speed.
Time is increasing to the right, and distance

The line on this graph is curving

upwards. This shows an

increase in speed, since the

line is getting steeper:

In other words, in a given time,
the distance the object moves is

change (getting larger). It is

accelerating.

137

media

Summary:

A distance-time graph tells us how far an object

has moved with time.

The steeper the graph, the faster the motion.

A horizontal line means the object is not

changing its position - it is not moving, it is at

rest.

A downward sloping line means the object is

returning to the start.

​Newton's First Law of Motion

Newton's First Law of Motion states, if the net force on an object is zero, then the motion of the object does not change.

​This means an object at rest stays at rest if it isn't acted on by an outside force. And an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force.
