Q

How is the total kinetic energy in a substance determined?

Q

What is energy?

A

Energy is a condition or quality that a substance has.

29
Q

What is thermal energy?

A

It is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance

30
Q

What is heat?

A

Heat is the energy that transfers from a substance who’s particles have a higher kinetic energy to a substance with lower kinetic energy

31
Q

What is temperature?

A

Temperature is the the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance

32
Q

What were the first thermometer called

A

200 B.C

The first thermometer were called thermoscopes

33
Q

History of thermometers

1959s

A

Several inventors had variations of the thermometer

34
Q

1630s?

A

early thermometers didn’t have scale markings

35
Q

1701s?

A

First practical thermometers that used red wine

36
Q

Who invented Fahrenheit?

A

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit

37
Q

1714?

A

First Mercury thermometer

38
Q

1742?

A

Anders Celsius used degrees as a unit of temperature to make ha markings

39
Q

1852

A

Lord kelvin invented the Kelvin scale extreme heat and extreme cold

40
Q

1861

A

Electrical resistance thermometer

41
Q

1970s?

A

Eat thermometer

42
Q

What is thermal expansion?

A

It is the process of expansion of a substance caused by an increase of thermal energy

43
Q

Expansion and contraction in solids?

A

Solids can become longer or shorter depending on temperature

44
Q

Expansion and contraction in liquids

A

When particles in liquid are heated their average energy increases and they need mor room so they expand

When temperature decreases in liquid they contract and become smaller because they need less room

45
Q

Expansion and contraction in gases

A

When the gas particles are heated their average kinetic energy is higher and the need more room to expand

When heat energy is taken away the volume decreases and it contracts

46
Q

What is volume

A

The amount of space a substance occupies

47
Q

What is the shape of water in solid state?

A

They keep their size and shape

48
Q

What is the size and shape of water in liquid form?

A

It takes the shape of its container

49
Q

What is the size and shape of water in gas form?

A

It has no definite size or shape

50
Q

What is thermal conduction?

A

It is the process of transferring thermal energy by direct collisions of the particles

51
Q

What are good conducting materials?

A

Materials where there is little or no space between the particles like most metals

52
Q

What is an insulator

A

They are materials that don’t easily transfer heat

53
Q

What is convection?

A

Convection is when warmer particles their energy to the cooler particles as they move in a circular pattern, called convection current

54
Q

What is radiation?

A

It is the transfer of heat without any movement of matter

55
Q

What is electromagnetic radiation?

A

Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is a form of radiant energy released by certain electromagnetic processes. Visible light is one type of electromagnetic radiation, and in some contexts light can refer to all EMR.

56
Q

What are some forms of EMR

A

X-Rays, sunlight, microwaves, radio and gamma rays

57
Q

Why does absorption occur?

A

It occurs if energy penetrates part way into the object

58
Q

Why does reflection occur?

A

If the radian energy cannot penetrate the surface

59
Q

Why does transmission occur

A

If the energy penetrates completely

60
Q

Where does natural radiation come from?

A

It can come from outer space

61
Q

What are natural sources of thermal energy?

A

Living organisms: They burn food in their bodies to generate body heat.

Composter: It is another source of thermal energy. They break down food.

62
Q

What is chemical energy?

A

Transformed into thermal energy when wood or coal is burned.

63
Q

What is geothermal energy?

A

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It’s clean and sustainable.

64
Q

What are some examples of geothermal energy?

A

Volcanoes, hot springs, geysers ect

65
Q

What is HRD?

A

Hot dry rock. Used as another technique to generate thermal energy.
Water is pumped into cracks in the earths crust and it returns to the surface as steam, which can be used to generate electricity

66
Q

What is wind energy?

A

Energy of moving air, and is the result of solar energy and convection. As the sun heats up warm air rises and cools off. Cooler air falls it creates convection currents called thermals

67
Q

What is mechanical forces?

A

Push or pull objects often release thermal energy, as do frictional forces

68
Q

How is electricity produced?

A

Hydro-electric dams: It uses the water to turn the turbines which are attached to generators

69
Q

What is passive solar heating?

A

Uses the materials in the structure to absorb, store and release the solar energy
