Q

The amount of heat energy needed to heat an object relies on..

A

the temperature rise, the mass of the object,

16
Q

Amount of heat loss in homes depend on the temperature _____ compared to the temperature ______.

A

Outside inside.

17
Q

What is specific heat capacity?

A

The amount of energy required to change 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius,

18
Q

What is the units of specific heat capacity?

A

Joules per kilogram per degrees Celsius or J/kg/*C

19
Q

Energy required is equal to

A

Specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature

20
Q

During a change in state does the temperature of a material change?

A

Nooooooooo

21
Q

what is the principal of conservation of energy?

A

Although energy changes to deferent forms no energy is ever gained or lost

22
Q

Why will some heat energy be transferred to its surroundings?

A

Due to convection, conduction and radiation

23
Q

What is latent heating of vaporisation?

A

The amount of energy required to change 1kg of a liquid at its boiling point to 1kg of gas without a change in temperature.

24
What does the word latent )hidden) refer to?
The fact that the temperature does not rise mad the heat energy supplied seems to have disspaesred
25
What is specific latent heat of fusion?
The enrergy required to change 1kg from a solid at its melting point to 1kg of its liquid without a change in temperature.
26
What happens to energy when a substance is changed from solid to liquid or liquid to gas?
It is absorbed
27
What happens to energy when a substance changes state from gas to liquid or liquid to solid
Latent heat is released
28
What is the unit for latent heat and what is it measured in
l and J/kg
29
Energy needed to change state =
Mass x specific latent hea
30
Why do you feel cold when water evaporates from your skin?
For the water to e parts it requires energy chip it takes form your skin
31
Unit of measurement for.. Energy absorbed or lost by substance, EH Specific heat capacity, c Change in temperature, delta T
Unit of measurement for.. EH joules (J) c joules/kilogram/degrees c (J/kg/C) delta T, degrees Celsius
32
What is specific latent heat of fusion or vaporisation, l, measured in?
Joules per kg (J/kg)
