Q

Solids transfer energy by ___________

A

Conduction

17
Q

Fluids (liquids and gases) transfer heat by ___________

A

Convection

18
Q

Which method of heat transfer causes heat to be transferred to the air above a cup of hot tea?

A

Convection

19
Q

A solid is a material with particles . . .

A

that vibrate around fixed positions.

20
Q

What is a thermal conductor?

A

A substance that transfers energy by conduction quickly.

21
Q

What is a thermal insulator?

A

A substance that transfers energy by conduction slowly or not at all.

22
Q

A material that is a poor thermal conductor is called a __________________

A

thermal insulator.

23
Q

In what situation does conduction occur?

  1. in the absence of particles
  2. in substances with touching particles
  3. in fluids
A
  1. in substances with touching particles
24
Q

What happens to the particles in a substance as it’s being heated?

  1. They gain energy and vibrate more.
  2. They gain energy and start to vibrate.
A
  1. They gain energy and vibrate more.
25
Q

What effect does heating a particle in one part of a substance have on the nearby particles?

A

The heated particles collide with nearby particles, causing them to vibrate more as well.

26
Q

Describe the stages of energy transfer by conduction:

A
  1. Particles that are heated gain energy.
  2. The increase in energy causes the particles to vibrate more.
  3. The particles that are vibrating more collide into the particles around them, transferring the energy.
  4. The movement of energy through a solid is called conduction.
27
Q

Describe how conduction occurs through a metal rod that is being heated by a Bunsen burner:

A
  1. The Bunsen burner flame heats the metal rod.
  2. As they are heated, the particles in the rod gain energy and vibrate more.
  3. The heated particles collide with nearby particles, causing them to also vibrate more.
  4. As more and more particles vibrate, there are more and more collisions, so energy transfer continues throughout the metal rod.
  5. Eventually the temperature of the whole rod increases.
28
Q

Why is conduction very slow in liquids?

A

The particles are loosely packed, so they don’t collide often.

29
Q

Why doesn’t conduction occur in a vacuum?

A

There are no particles in a vacuum.

30
Q

How is energy transferred through a solid?

A

By conduction

31
Q

Why does conduction rarely happen in gases?

A

The particles are spread out, so the particles rarely collide.
