Density and Specific Heat Capacity Flashcards
Calculate
Use the numbers given in the question to work out the answer.
Describe
Recall some facts, events or processes accurately.
Explain
Make something clear or state the reasons for something happening.
Thermal Insulator
Prevents heat from escaping or entering a container.
Thermal Conductor
A material that allows energy in the form of heat, to be transferred through the material, without any movement.
Thermal Conductivity
A measure of how well a material conducts heat. It is measured in W/m or J/s/m.
Heating Pathway
Energy is transferred from a hotter object to a colder object.
Radiation Pathway
Energy is given out from a source, such as light or sound.
Electrical pathway
The transfers in an electrical circuit due to charges moving.
