Radiation Flashcards
Work is measured in..
Joules
Output force
What is created
Input force
What you apply
A simple machine
Makes things easier to lift
A lever is an example of a…
Force multiplier
Calculation
Work=force times distance
Radiation
A method of transfering energy without thw need of particles
Infrared raditation
A type of wave just like the light
Thermal imaging camera
Can see the unfrared raditation being admitted
Thermal energy
Is meaured in joules
Conduction
Transfer of thermal energy through the vibration of particles
Good thermal conductors
Metal becuase it comtains electrons which are free to move
Insulators
Material that doesnt allow heat electricity or sound tp pass through or come out of
Poor conductors
Gasses and liquids (their particles are spreadout and do not colliade often
Convection
Is the transfer of thermal engergy in a liquid of gas
