thermodynamics basic

Question 1

What’s the experimental group?

Answer 1

It’s the part of the experiment where the variables are being changed.

Question 2

What is the control group?

Answer 2

A part of an experiment that doesn’t change. Use to compare your results to.

Question 3

What is an Independent Variable

Answer 3

The variable that is controlled (not the control). The variable you choose to change.

Question 4

What is a Control?

Answer 4

The one you use to compare the changes made by the experimental group.

Question 5

What is Conduction?

Answer 5

The movement of heat through an object.

Question 6

What’s Temperature?

Answer 6

It’s the average kinetic energy.

Question 7

Does cold technically exist?

Answer 7

Cold does not exist but lack of heat does.

Question 8

What is radiation?

Answer 8

Its heat that transfers through waves.

Question 9

I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the control in this experiment?

Answer 9

Me going to bed at my regular time and seeing how tired I am in the morning.

Question 10

I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the independent variable?

Answer 10

The time I choose to go to bed.

Question 11

I want to know: How will be going to bed later affect how tired I am in the morning. What is the dependent variable?

Answer 11

How tired I am in the morning.

Question 12

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?

Answer 12

My bed, me, what time I get up in the morning.

Question 13

What is Convection?

Answer 13

The transfer of heat when it moves up due to it being less dense than the air around.

Question 14

What is Conduction?

Answer 14

The transfer of heat through touch.

Question 15

What is an Insulator?

Answer 15

Maintains state or prevents change of kinetic energy.

Question 16

What is an Conductor?

Answer 16

Moves heat around or speeds up change of kinetic energy.

Question 17

You are playing among us and you saw a vent. Is a vent a example of Radiation, Convection, or Conduction?

Answer 17

Convection

Question 18

What is a liquid?

Answer 18

A liquid can slide past each other but does not have full freedom of movement.

Question 19

Why are the molecules of gas further apart than other states of matter?

Answer 19

Because they have more kinetic energy to move faster and further apart

Question 20

Jeff is cooking bacon. He touches the pan and it burns him. What kind of heat transfer is this?

Answer 20

Conduction.

Question 21

As heat is added to molecules they…

Answer 21

speed up and move further apart

Question 22

you are sitting in the sun and you are getting hot what type of heat transfer is this?

Answer 22

radiation

Question 23

You are at the beach and you sadly get a sunburn. Are sun rays an example of Convection, Conduction, or Radiation?

Answer 23

Radiation.

Question 24

It is the summer and you’re on your trampoline and the sun is very hot. Is the heat from the sun Radiation, Convection, or Conduction?

Answer 24

Radiation

Question 25

Greg is sitting near a campfire. The campfire is warming him up, even though Greg is not touching it. What kind of heat transfer is this?

Answer 25

Radiation.

Question 26

you are sitting in the sun and you are getting hot what type of heat transfer is this?

Answer 26

radiation

Question 27

Conduction is when heat is transferred by heat waves: true or false

Answer 27

False: conduction is the transfer of heat through objects

Question 28

An insulator is when the area maintains the heat, or keeps it out’ True or false

Answer 28

True!

Question 29

You are in among us and you are making some Hot Coco. You see some steam rising from your cup. Does steam come from adding heat or adding cold/making it cooler?

Answer 29

Adding Heat.

Question 30

Mark is playing in the snow. He is wearing gloves so that his hands don’t get cold. Are the the gloves and example of a conductor, or an insulator?

Answer 30

Insulator.

Question 31

You are in among us and your buddy is trying to do a task but they don’t know what kinetic energy is!!!!!!! Define Kinetic energy.

Answer 31

The speed of molecules in a certain solid, gas, or liquid.

Question 32

There is a reactor meltdown and your buddy is trying to measure the temp of something but they don’t know what a thermometer is! Explain what a thermometer is to your old pal.

Answer 32

The tool that is used to measure the average kinetic energy of a state of matter.

Question 33

You are freaking out in among us and a sus person walks up to you and says “Thermal Energy is the Energy of Cold.” Is this True or False?

Answer 33

FALSE!!! The sus guy is really an imposter and (if you said true) he kills you and runs away. YOU LOSE!!!! (If you said False then Crewmates win!!)
