Week 6 - Pnysical Sciences 1 Flashcards
What type of compound is water?
Polar compound
Dissolving
For a liquid to dissolve a solid, the compounds of a liquid and solid must attract one another
Water compound attract the negative and positive areas on the polar sugar compounds
The sugar dissolves because they separated from the other compounds and mix into the water
Saturation
A solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
To saturate something - the solution needs to be heated
How can heat me transferred
You can not add ‘cold’ to an object - heat flows into the cold object and vice versa until both at the same consistent temperature
What is energy
Energy is the ability to do work
When energy is converted from one form to another, work is done
What is heat energy and types
The internal energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in the matter - heat is the ability of atoms to do work
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Transfer of heat energy between substances that are in direct contact with each other
Convection
Up and down movement of gases and liquids caused by heat energy transfer - matter moves from the warmer area to colder area - repeating of cycle
Radiation
Heat energy is transmitted without any physical contact between objects - transmitted without any physical contact between objects
Temperature
Not the same as heat
Heat is measurement of energy
Temperature is an average heat or thermal energy in a substance
What is boiling
A consist movement of heat molecules and energy
Two different types of forces
Contact
Physical pushes, friction (air or water resistance), force from wind
Non contact
Gravity, magnetic forces, electrostatic forces
What is normal force?
The force exerted on an object that comes to contact or is stable with another object
Opposite attraction
Positive and negative charges will attract and pull towards each other
Things with the same charge (two positive and two negative) will repel or push away from each other
Magnets properties
Magnets are dipolar (2 poles north and south)
N pole away attracts the South Pole (force of attraction)
S pole repels the s pole (force of repulsion)
The n pole repels the n pole (force of repulsion)
