heating and cooling Flashcards
temperature
temperature is what the heat level is hot or cold we use a thermometer to measure the heat we use in the uk degrees Celsius
thermometer
is what we measure heat with
conduction
conduction is one of the ways in which thermal energy travels
in conduction energy is transferred from one particle to the particles touching it from hotter to colder particles
convection
when a gas or a liquid gets heated the particles move up
radiation of heat
unlike conduction and convection which both transfer heat energy … through particles radiated heat can travel .. through a vacuum …an empty space with no particles in it
conduction of heat in materials
a stone floor cold because it is a good heat conductor
a carpet feels warm because it is a poor heat conducter
what materials are good for thermal insulation
glass wood plastic and air
what is temperature measured
degrees Celsius
infa-red
caries thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object
evaporation
a change from liquid to gas
expand
a materiel getting bigger
change of state
the change od state are boiling , melting ,condensing and freezing
what dose convection happen in
gases and liquids
name a way thermal energy is transferred
conduction
what happens when you cool a solid or liquid
it conducts because the particles vibrate less and up less
