Mini Test Mrs Conner Lesson 1 Flashcards
Workdone=
Force (n) x distance (m)
Gravitational potential =
Mass x g x height
Power =
Work done (J) / time (s)
Kinetic energy =
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity2
Covection
Warm air is less dense as it expands so it rises
Cool air is more dense so it contracts and sinks
Land and sea breeze
Day
Land is heated by the sun Warm air rises Bea she it's less dense Warm air I replaced by cool air from the sea Creates Convection current
Land and sea breeze
Night
Sea stays warmer at night
Air above the sea is warmed and rises as it is less dense
Radiation is the only method
that heat energy can travel through space
Infrared radiation
Part of electromagnetic spectrum and travels at speed of light through vacuum
Conduction
Is the energy transfer from hot to cold
Energy is transferred by
Vibration
What aids conduction
Metals have free electrons to aid conduction
Solids are the the best
Conductors
Insulator is a
Poor conduction
Insulating materials
Wool
Firbre glass
