16
Q

why does gas cause pressure on the walls of its container

A

because the gas particles are constantly colliding with the walls

17
Q

what happens to gas when it is heated

A

the higher the temperature, the faster the particles are moving

18
Q

what happens when gas is compressed

A

volume decreases, pressure increases

19
Q

absolute 0

A

a temperature where particles have no kinetic energy

20
Q

kelvin temp

21
Q

kelvin equation

A

K=273+temp

22
Q

boyle’s law

A

pressure increase,volume decreases

23
Q

thermal expansion

A

when solid,liquid and gas expand when their temp increases

24
Q

which expand the most

25
which expand the least
solid
26
how does evaporation cool our body
by absorbing heat energy from your skin as sweat turns into vapor
27
conduction
the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collision between neighbourthing atoms or molecule
28
convenction
the process in which heat energy get transporsted from hotter areas to cooler areas
29
difference between evaporation and boiling
evaporation happens at the surface of a liquid at any temperature and boiling happens throughout the entire liquid at a specific temp called boiling point
30
big puddle evaporate faster because
because a larger surface area exposes more water molecules to the air, allowing for faster evaporation.
31
thermal radiation
electromagnetic radiation emitted from a material that is due to the heat of the material
32
thermal conduction
the diffusion of thermal energy (heat) within one material or between materials in contact
33
radiation
energy given off by matter in the form of rays or high-speed particles
