Q

Radiation

A

Heat travels from a hot object without the need for a medium, does not need a solid, liquid or gas to go through, will flow through a vacuum

Q

Layers

A

The hairs on our arms are not good at keeping us warm, if we wear layers of clothes the air is trapped to keep us warm

Q

Winds are formed by convection

A

The sun heats the earth
This causes the hot air to rise
As the hot air rises it cools and sinks down to the ground

Q

Thermometer

A

The liquid in a thermometer will expand and rise when heated and will contract when cooled

16
Q

Boiling point of water

A

100°C

17
Q

Freezing point of water

A

0°C

18
Q

Melting point

A

Is when a solid turns to a liquid

19
Q

Boiling point

A

When a liquid turns into a gas

20
Q

Freezing point

A

When a liquid turns into a solid

21
Q

Condensation

A

Is a gas turning to a liquid

22
Q

Evaporation

A

Is when a liquid turns into a gas

23
Q

Pressure and boiling point

A kettle will Boil at 100°C but will boil at 70°C on top of Mount Everest

A

Atmospheric pressure is less so it is easier for the water vapour to escape

24
Q

Latent heat

A

The heat taken in or given out when a substance is changing state without a change in temperature

25
Q

Latent heat of fusion

A

Is used when a solid changes into a liquid

26
Q

Latent heat of vaporisation

A

Is used when a liquid changes to a gas

27
Q

Dull black surface radiates

A

Heat better than a shiny surface

28
Q

Dull black surface absorb

A

Heat better than a shiny surface

29
Q

When water is below 4°C

A

It begins to expand

30
Q

The amount of heat in a substance depends on

A

Temperature, mass and what it is made of e.g 200ml of water at 60°c has twice as much heat as 100ml of water at 60°C
