Temperature and Heat

Question 1

temperature

Answer 1

the measure of the average kinetic energy in the atoms of an object

Question 2

heat

Answer 2

energy in transit

Question 3

three methods of heat transfer

Answer 3

conduction, convection, radiation

Question 4

conduction

Answer 4

direct contact; transfer of thermal energy from one particle to another within a certain material;either through atoms or touching solids

Question 5

convection

Answer 5

transfer of thermal energy by the movement of the liquid itself; convection currents

Question 6

radiation

Answer 6

transfer of thermal energy through matter or space as EM waves

Question 7

specific heat capacity

Answer 7

the quantity of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 C

Question 8

thermal conductivity

Answer 8

measure of how well an object transfers thermal energy within its own atomic structure by conduction

Question 9

Kinetic Theory of Gases

Answer 9

more collisions=more pressure
