4 Sc ch 12

4 Sc Ch 12 Heat

QuestionAnswer
the transfer of passing energy conduction
a material that allows thermal energy or electricity to pass through it conductor
the pattern in which thermal energy flows; formed when heated liquid or gas expands and is less dense than a cooler liquid or gas around it convection current
a material or substance that limits the amount of heat that passes through it insulator
the transmission of energy as light radiation
total energy of motion of particles in a system thermal energy
describe the arrangement of particles of a solid they are all closely packed together
describe the speed of the particles of an object that is warm/hot the particles are moving fast
describe the speed of the particles of an object that is cool/cold the particles are moving slow
When a substance cools, it (expands or contracts) contracts
when a substance heats up, it (expands or contracts) expands
Wheat is temperature? it is the measure of the AVERAGE AMOUNT of motion of particles in matter
Which type of heat transfer is being done when a pot is on a hot stove burner (conduction, radiation or convection)? conduction
What are insulators? a material or substance that limits the amount of heat that passes through it
As hot air expands and cool air sinks below the warmer air, what is formed? convection current
the heat given off from a heat source through electromagnetic waves (like a campfire or light bulb) is what type of heat transfer? (conduction, radiation or convection) radiation
Thermal energy measures the total energy of moving ____. particles
Which method of heat energy transfer that does not require matter? (conduction, radiation, or convection) radiation
what type of heat transfer causes a mobile to turn? (conduction, radiation or convection) convection
what is energy? ability to do work or cause a change
how is an insulator different from a conductor? an insulator only lets in a little heat. A conductor lets in a lot.
If your bedroom has a radiator heater, explain how the room gets warmer. Water is heated in a boiler. Then the hot water or steam is pumped into pipes throughout the room and the convection current heats up the room
Name some example of Convection current: (3) radar and air, wind, oven
Name an example of Conductor: (1) touching a light bulb
Name some examples of Radiation: (3) sun, fire, light bulb
Name some examples of Insulators: (5) marble, wood, air, cardboard, plastic
energy due to moving particles that make up matter thermal energy
the transfer of heat energy by one thing touching another conduction
material that readily allows heat to move conductor
material that limits the amount of heat that passes through it insulator
pattern of flowing heat energy convection current
heat energy that travels through space from a light source such as the sun radiation
What is the effect of: boiler heats up water it turns to steam
What is the effect of: radiators made of metal allows heat energy from the steam to pass through the walls of the radiator
What is the effect of: air is heated & expands it is less dense than the cooler air around it
What is the effect of: warm air is less dense than cooler air the cooler air sinks below the warmer air
Heat is the flow of thermal energy (true or false) true
(Temperature or Thermal Energy)is the total energy in all of the particles in an object thermal energy
Liquids expand when they are heated and (expand or contract) when they are cooled? contract
temperature is measured using a (thermometer or scales) thermometer
the number of particles in an object affects its thermal energy by not its temperature (true or false) true
a large pot of water and a small pot of water with the same temperature have the (same or different) thermal energy? different - the large pot has more thermal energy
An object with a high temperature has particles that move (quickly or slowly) quickly
wood & plastics are examples of (conductors or insulators) insulators
the air in a greenhouse is heated by (conduction or radiation) radiation
thermal energy always moves from a warmer area to a (cooler or hotter) area cooler

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
