16
Q

The movement caused within a fluid (currents) when hotter less dense material rises and colder denser material sinks.

A

Convection

17
Q

The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves move

A

radiation

18
Q

A substance or material that allows electricity and heat to flow through it

A

conductor

19
Q

A substance that does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.

A

insulator

20
Q

the transfer of kinetic energy from one medium or object to another, or from an energy source to a medium or object.

A

Heat

21
Q

What is the equation for KE? What is the equation for gravitational potential energy?

A

KE=1/2 m(velocity squared)
Label is Joules
GPE=mgh Label Joules

22
Q

What is the law of conservation of energy?

A

Energy is neither created nor destroyed only transfered

23
Q

Explain why we use copper and iron cooking pans. Relate your answer to heat transfer and to specific heat.

A

They are good heat conductors and they have a low specific heat so they heat up faster

24
Q

What is the freezing and boiling point for the 3 temp scales?

A

F 32 212 C 0 100 K 273 373

25
Q

Give and example of a good insulator and a good conductor.

A

Conductor copper insulator rubber wood plastic

26
Q

List 2 scenarios when thermal energy transfer, or thermal insulation, is inhibited.

A

Shivering to keep your body warm
Insulation in a house
Putting on layers to keep you warm

27
Q

Give a real-world example of heat transfer.

A

Stove to the pot, the stove’s heat is transferred into the room temp pot and this gets hot fast due to the extreme temp difference

28
Q

Give an example of all 3 types of heat transfer.

A

Conduction stove to pot Convection air popper and radiation microwave
