Physics (Ch2.1) Flashcards
What are the molecular arrangement of solids, liquids and gas?
Solid: Closely packed
Liquid: Closely packed
Gas: Far apart from each other
What is the molecular movement of solids, liquids and gas?
Solid: Fixed in position, Vibrate about in fixed position
Liquid: Not fixed in position, Move around each other
Gas: Not fixed in position, Move freelyat high speeds in all directions
The molecules in a body possess ______, so they are constantly in motion. The more______ the molecules possess, the faster they move.
kinetic energy
The temperature of a body is a measure of the ______ kinetic
energy due to the ______ of the molecules in a body
Average
random motion
Do molecules in a body at 0 degree celcius still have kinetic energy?
Yes
What is the lowest temperature of kinetic energy of molecules?
-273 degree celcius
Absolute zero
The internal energy of a body is the total amount of the ___ stored in the body.
molecular energy
How is internal energy measured?
Joules (J)
Does the total internal energy change with temperature and mass of the body?
yes
Heat is the energy transferred from one body to another as a result of a _______.
temperature difference
The rate of energy transfer depends on the temperature
difference. The larger the temperature difference, the____the rate.
higher
Heat flows naturally from _____ bodies to ______ones.
The energy transfer stops when they reach the same temperature. In this
state, they are said to be in ______.
High-temperature
Low-temperature
thermal equilibrium
Beside heating, how can we increase the internal energy of the body?
Doing work
