heating and cooling Flashcards
convection
When you heat a gas or liquid, the particles move up.
conduction
conduction is one of the ways in which thermal energy is transferred.
radiation
this is the transfer of HEAT ENERGY by waves.
what temp does water boil at?
100 degrees Celsius
evaporation
change of a liquid into a gas
contraction
this happens in particles when the object gets heated up and the spaces move closer together
convection current
circular movement of hot gas
expand
when particles are heated causing spaces to expand
what temp is your body?
37 degress
normal room temp
20 degrees
what temp does water freeze
0 degrees Celsius
does sun give heat
yes it does, it varies in different countries.
what temp is a cup of tea
75 degrees Celsius (approximately)
condensation
when gas particles turn to a liquid
expansion in solids
Substances expand or get bigger when they are heated up. They contract or get smaller when they are cooled down. This property can be useful.
