Q

What does the first law of motion states

A
  • An object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
  • An object in motion continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Q

What are three types of heat transfers

A

Conduction
Convection
Radiation

20
Q

What is conduction

A

The transfer of energy from molecule to molecule by collision

21
Q

What is Convection

A

The transfer of energy by the flow of a liquid to a gas

22
Q

What is Radiation

A

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

23
Q

The flow within a fluid is due to the changes in density is called _________

A

Convection Current

24
Q

A furnace heats water to boil. The steam moves through baseboard types. Energy from the steam is transferred through the air In a room by ______and ______

A

Convection and radiation

25
Q

The effectiveness of heating systems depend on ___________

A

On the use of the insulating material such as foam helps to maintain heat

26
Q

You cannot measure heat directly but_________

A

You can measure the changes in temperature

27
Q

How much heat do substances that warm up slowly absorb

A

Large amounts for each degree the temperature rises

28
Q

When a substance cools off, it releases ________

A

Heat

29
Q

Substances that cool slowly use large amounts of heat for ___________

A

Each degree the temperature drops

30
Q

Each material has its own specific because

A

It takes different amounts of heat to change the temperature of equal masses of different substances

31
Q

What is specific heat measured in

A

Joules/Grams *C

32
Q

What is the formula for the amount of heat a substance absorbs

A

Mass x temperature x specific heat

M x 🔼t x cp

33
Q

What is the law of conservation

A

When you heat an object it gains energy. The heat loss and heat gain is because two or more substances are related

34
Q

What happens to the changes of state when a substance cools down

A

They are reversed

35
Q

What makes a material change its State?

A

Heat gain or heat loss

36
Q

When an ice cube reaches 0 degrees Celsius what happens

A

It keeps absorbing heat but the temperature stops rising

37
Q

Why does the temperature stop rising even though the ice is gaining heat

A

The ice cube melting the absorbed heat enables the molecules of the ice to breakaway form their crystal structure causing the Temperature not to rise until all of the ice is melted

38
Q

What is heat of fusion

A

The heat needed to change one gram of material from a solid to a liquid

39
Q

The heat needed to change one gram of a liquid into a gas is called

A

Heat of vaporization

40
Q

A blue flame gives more heat than a _____ flame

A

Yellow

41
Q

A bright yellow flame gives more light than a ______

A

Yellow flame

42
Q

What is a blue flame better for cooking than a yellow flame

A

Cooking with a big yellow flame means you are wasting fuel or gas since they carry less heat

43
Q

What is the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization for water, aluminum, Iron, Copper, Silver,mercury and lead

A
Water - 334, 2254
Aluminum -393, 10544
Iron-33, 6694
Copper-205, 4812
Silver-105.8, 2364

A

Pressure

45
Q

A gas exert a force on the wall is contained by

A

Gas expansion
