Physics- Chapter 8

Question 1

What property of an object is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in that object?

Answer 1

temperature

Question 2

• through liquid
• the process in which heat is carried from one place to another by bulk movement of a fluid
• ex: tectonic plates; weather; ocean currents; lava lamp
• energy carried by material; contact is not needed

Answer 2

convection

Question 3

• through material; no transfer of matter (only energy)
• the process whereby heat is transferred directly through a material, with any bulk motion of the material playing no role in the transfer
• ex: soldering, welding, grilling

Answer 3

conduction

Question 4

• transfer of energy as waves moves from space

- the process in which energy is transferred by means of electromagnetic waves

Answer 4

radiation

Question 5

• 334 J/g

- the amount of heat needed to melt a unit of mass at its melting point

Answer 5

heat of fusion

Question 6

• 2260 J/g

- the amount of heat needed to vaporize a unit of mass at its melting point

Answer 6

heat of vaporization

Question 7

thermal expansion of gases and liquids

Answer 7

gases- lower

liquids- rise
