Chapter 3 Flashcards
Physics
Formula of density=
mass/volume
Formula of volume=
mass/density
Formula of mass=
volume x density
density of object<density of liquid=
float
density of object>density of liquid=
sink
1g/cm3=
1000kg/m3
What is heat?
total measure of energy in particles
What is temperature?
how hot something is, average energy of particles
Unit of heat and temperature
joules(J), celcius( °C) or kelvin(K)
Temperature of absolute zero
-273 °C
What is the law of conservation of energy(physics)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.
What is conduction?
transfer of heat from one particle to another
What is convection?
transfer of heat through motion of gas or liquid
What is radiation?
flow of heat between objects that are not in contact with each other
Black objects are good or poor absorbers of heat?
good absorbers of heat
