Transferring Heat
Question | Answer |
---|---|
this happens when particles in an object vibrate in place but collide with particles next to them, giving them kinetic energy | conduction |
this happens when warm fluids move from one place to another, in a cycle | convection |
this happens when electromagnetic waves carry energy from a source to another object | radiation |
substances that transfer heat very poorly | insulators |
substances that transfer heat very well | conductors |
the rate or speed at which a substance conducts heat is this | thermal conductivity |
this is related to the total kinetic energy of all of the particles in a substance | heat |
this is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance | temperature |
the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of something by one degree Celsius | specific heat capacity |
