Moving and Storing Heat Flashcards
2) When a substance is heated it gains…?
Kinetic energy
1) Heat is a measure of…?
Energy
3) When particles gain kinetic energy (In a gas or liquid) they…?
Move around faster
4) In a solid that gains kinetic energy the particles…?
Vibrate more rapidly
5) The energy produced by a solid, liquid or gas being heated is measured on…?
An absolute scale
6) What does an absolute mean in relation to the movement of particles?
Can’t go below zero (limit to how slow particles can move)
7) What is the unit of measurement for heat energy?
Joule (j)
8) Temperature is measure of…?
The average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
9) Temperature is measured in…?
Degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit (these are not absolute scales)
10) Energy tends to flow…?
From hot objects to cooler ones
11) If there’s a difference in ….. between two places, then ….. will flow between them
- Temperature
- Energy
12) The greater the difference in temperature…?
The faster the rate of cooling
13) What is specific heat capacity the measure of?
How much energy a substance can store
14) Materials that gain a lot of energy…?
Release loads of energy when they cool down
15) What is specific heat capacity?
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1Kg of a substance by 1 degrees Celsius
