Term | Definition |
---|---|
heat flows from | hot to cold |
kinetic molecular model | molecules are in constant motion |
PE+KE= | total internal energy |
Thermal energy | the sum of all the kinetic energy of an object |
Thermal energy can only be measured | as it is transfered from one system to another |
When molecules start moving | they are gaining thermal energy |
thermal energy is not | temperature |
temperature is | an objects average kinetic energy |
transfering kinetic energy is | heating or cooling |
fiducial points | freezing or boiling point of pure water |
Kelvin advanteges | no negative |
Celsius= | 5/9(Fahrenheit-32) |
Fahrenheit= | 9/5*Celsius+32 |
Thermal expansion | particles gaining enough energy to literally increase the mass of the object |
Elictrical resistance | how to measure how well electricity is conducted |
Viscosity | the measure of liquids resistance to flow |
Heat is | the quantity of thermal energy that flows from one place to another |
Conduction | thermal energy transfers through solids |
Convection | thermal energy transfers through fluids |
Radiation | Thermal energy that can travel through a vacuum does not require contact with object radiating thermal energy |
Insulator | stops/absorbs thermal energy |
Heat capacity | How much energy absorbed compared to change in temperature C=Q/(delta)T |
Specific heat or specific heat capacity (same thing) | Q=MC(delta)T |
Latent heat | heat used by the substance to change its state not temperature |
Triple point | point at which solid liquid and gas can exist at the same time together |
critical point | the temperature at which more pressure will not make a gas back into a liquid its a gas until it cools |
Freezing point | Temperature where substances freeze |
Boiling point | Temperature at which substances change from a liquid to a gas |
