UNIT IV ENERGY FORCE STUDY GUIDE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where does all energy originate (come) from? | The Sun |
| The energy of a substance due to the motion/vibration of its atoms is called_________________. | thermal energy |
| The energy carried by waves in the electromagnetic spectrum is called _________________. | radiant energy |
| If you raise an object above the ground, you give it_______________. | gravitational potential energy |
| If the particle motion ________________, temperature _______________. | increases, increases |
| If you have two samples of water and each has a mass of 1 kg. Sample A has a temperature of 90* C and Sample B has a temperature of 70*C, which statement is correct? | The Kinetic Energy and thermal energy of Sample A is greater than Sample B. |
| What is the difference between temperature and heat? | Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance. Heat is the energy that is transferred from one substance to another. Objects cannot possess heat but they do possess kinetic energy. |
| Compare the three methods of heat transfer -- conduction, convection, and radiation. | Conduction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Convection is the transfer of the heat by circulation of a heated fluid (liquid or gas). Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation. |
| What is temperature? | The measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance. |
| What unit is thermal energy measured in? | Joules |
| What is heat? | The transfer of thermal energy from a hot object to a less hot (colder) object. |
| What is the original source of all energy on Earth? | The Sun |
| ______________ is the transfer of thermal energy in solids through direct contact from higher to lower temperature objects. | Conduction |
| In a furnace-heated home, why does the colder air fall back down to the furnace? | As the furnace heats the air, it rises. Colder air is denser and so it falls down towards to furnace to take its place. |
| Why do houses sometimes become colder in the attic than the basement if heat is less dense and rises? | The transfer of heat cannot circulate or convection. |
| A pot sitting on a hot burner. (conduction, convection, and radiation) | Conduction |
| Heating a house with a furnace. | Convection |
| The Sun heating the Earth. | Radiation |
| Getting a tan on a beach. | Radiation |
| Touching hot pavement in the summer. | Conduction |
| Cooking a roasting the oven. Choose the best answer. | Convection |
| Macaroni rising and falling the in a pot of boiling water. | Convection |
| Using a hearing blanket to get warm. | Conduction |
| Getting warm by sitting in from of a fire. | Radiation |
| Warming air rising. | Convection |
| Anything with molecules has __________________. | heat |
| What is the difference between hot and cold things in regards to the motion of their molecules? | The molecules in warm things are moving aster than the molecules in cold things. |
| Explain why the ice sculpture has more heat energy than the burning match. | There are a lot more molecules in the ice sculpture. More molecules, more heat energy. |
| What kind of heat transfer occurred when Bill felt from the burning match? | Radiation |
| How does convection create wind? | Hot air rises creating low-pressure areas and cold air sinks, creating high-pressure areas (convection |
