thermodynamics basic Flashcards
What is Kinetic Energy?
The Energy of Movement or Motion
Investigation
looking deeper to find out if its right or wrong or why it did what it did
Predict
make a theory on what you think will happen
Control Group
the thing you do not change. A frame of reference that’s usually the “normal” or a group that doesn’t have
Volume
How much space something takes up
Conservation of Energy
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed”
Solid
A state of matter that is made of a structure with close atoms and a set volume and shape. Solids vibrate instead of moving
Control Group
The group that you don’t change. A reference
Independent Variable
The Variable you change
Dependent Variable
A variable that is changed by another variable
Experiment Group
The group that you change
Solid
A state of matter is a structure with a set volume and shape. Solids vibrate instead of moving
What is Diffusion?
The movement of energy from high to low density
Liquid
A state of matter that is less dense and has a set volume but has an undefined shape
Gas
A state of matter that is spread out and has an undefined volume and shape
Force of attraction
A force that holds molecules together. It gets weaker the hotter or faster the molecules are
I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the control in the experiment?
Going to bed at the regular time and seeing how tired I am as a comparison.
I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the independent variable?
The time i go to bed
I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the dependent variable?
How tired I am in the morning
I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What are some constants in this experiment?
My bed, me, the time I wake up in the morning
Does cold exist?
No, it doesn’t
If I sit at a fireplace, what type of transfer is that?
Radiation
If I touch a pot’s handle, what type of transfer is that?
Conduction
If I hold my hands over a fire, what type of transfer is that?
Convection
