1
New cards

What is thermal energy also known as?

Heat energy

2
New cards

What is the heat in a substance the measure of?

Kinetic energy

3
New cards

What affects the time it takes for a substance to be heated?

Mass

4
New cards

Heat is directly proportional to what?

Heat is directly proportional to mass

5
New cards

What happens when a substance is heated?

Kinetic energy increases

6
New cards

What is heat?

Heat is a form of energy transferred from one object to another (It is the internal movement of particles using kinetic energy)

7
New cards

What is the initial definition of temperature?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy or the particles/heat in an substance

8
New cards

What are the levels of kinetic energy in a cold substance as compared to a hot substance?

COLD: Low levels of kinetic energy
HOT: High levels of kinetic energy

9
New cards

What tool is used to measure the temperature of a substance?

A thermometer

10
New cards

Why does a thermometer explode when met with a hot substance?

Kinetic energy in molecules that are passed into the thermometer liquid

11
New cards

How does Mass affect how long it takes for water to boil?

The larger the mass, the longer it takes for heat particles to transfer enough energy to boil the entire substance, compared to a smaller mass.

12
New cards

What tool can be used to heat a substance for experiments?

Electric heater

13
New cards

What is used to measure a quantity of electricity?

Joulemeter

14
New cards

Why do two different substances with the same mass take different amounts of time to heat completely?

Due to how the material absorbs and conducts heat

15
New cards

Law of mass/energy conversation?

Energy and mass can neither be created nor destroyed; they can only be transferred

16
New cards

What does matter contain (In circumstance of this chapter)?

Energy

17
New cards

What happens to energy as chemical bonds break?

Energy is absorbed (or taken in) from the surroundings

18
New cards

What is a Exothermic reaction?

Releases heat into surroundings

19
New cards

What is a endothermic reaction?

Absorbs heat from surroundings

20
New cards

What is heat dissipation?

When heat energy is transferred to surroundings

21
New cards

Examples of heat dissipation?

  • Conduction

  • Convection

  • Radiation

22
New cards
23
New cards

What is conduction material?

Material that allows heat to pass through

24
New cards

What is conduction?

When heat energy is passed from one particle to another

25
New cards

How is heat spread? (metal)

When metal is heated the electrons catch heat energy and pass it onto other electrons and so on.

26
New cards

How is a thermal/electrical conductor formed?

The bonding of atoms that pass on free electron movement.

27
New cards

What is convection?

Heat energy is carried away when particles change position.

28
New cards

What is the cycle process of convection?

  1. Particles get warm (kinetic energy)

  2. They rise up to a cool area

  3. Cool particles take over their empty space and get warm

REPEAT 🔁

29
New cards

What is radiation?

Heat travelling through waves

30
New cards

What temperature should the human body maintain for good health and how does it maintain it after sweating?

37°C is the temperature recommended.
The body evaporates sweat to cool down skin.

31
New cards

What is thermal imaging?

The conversion of infrared radiation to electricity to make images

32
New cards

Who discovered infrared radiation?

William Herschel

33
New cards

Why do greenhouses warm up?

Heat waves trapped by glass

34
New cards

Two uses of thermal imaging?

Building inspection (Insulation) and Inflammation testing

35
New cards

What is infared radiation?

a type of invisible energy that we mostly experience as heat
