Thermal physics Flashcards
1
Q
when temperature of solid stays the same but energy is still being transfers what is happening?
A
energy is being used to break SOME atomic bonds, mean potential energy is increasing, KE is NOT increasing
2
Q
when the temperature of a gas increases what happens?
A
mean ke increases, pressure increases
3
Q
what are the units for specific heat capacity?
A
J/(kg k)
4
Q
what’s the unit for specific latent heat?
A
J/kg
5
Q
what are the conditions for absolute zero temperature
A
0 pressure and volume, total ke is 0
6
Q
what is meant by the internal energy of a gas.
A
the sum of all the ke in all the particles
