Physics yr9 Flashcards
1
Q
conduction
A
the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules
2
Q
convection
A
the movement of particles through a substance, transporting their heat energy from hotter areas to cooler areas
3
Q
specific latent heat
A
the energy needed to turn 1kg of a substance into a different state
4
Q
specific heat capacity equation
A
change in thermal energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
5
Q
thermal energy
A
total kinetic energy of particles
6
Q
internal energy
A
kinetic energy of particles (average) + chemical potential energy
7
Q
temperature
A
average speed (kinetic energy) of particles
8
Q
specific heat capacity
A
specific heat capacity = energy / mass * change in temperature
9
