GCSE Combined Science Physics

QuestionAnswer
What does the kinetic theory state? Every thing is made of tiny particles.
What are the 3 states of matter of water? ice, water and water vapour
Describe how particles move in a solid? They vibrate in fixed bonds.
What is the change of state when a gas turns into a liquid? Condensing
What is sublimation ? Solid turns straight into a gas without becoming a liquid.
Why is mass conserved during a change of state? Number of particals stays the same.
What is the equation for density? Density = Mass/Volume
A 200kg block of aluminium has a volume of 0.074 m3. What is its density? Density = Mass/Volume = 200Kg/0.074m3 = 2700Kg/m3
The density of copper is 8960kg/m3 , what volume would a 2000kg mass occupy? Volume = mass/density =2000kg/8960kg/m3 =0.223 m3
What is the density of water in g/cm3 and kg/m3? 1g/cm3 and 1000kg/m3
How is energy stored as thermal energy? It is stored by the movement of particles that make up the substance
What happens to the particles as a solid substance stores more thermal energy? Its particles will vibrate more in the bonds
Do two different objects have to be at the same temperature to store the same amount of energy? No, the temperature is related to the average Kinetic energy of the particles, some objects may have more particles so have a greater store of energy for the same temperature.
What happens to liquids and gases as they store more thermal energy? The speedsof the particals increase.
How do we stop an object transferring its energy to the surroundings? We insulate it.
What are the 3 factors that affect the thermal stored energy in a substance? Mass, temperature and the material it is made from
What is the specific heat capacity of a material ? This is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of the substance by 1OC
What is the change of state called when a liquid turns into a gas? Evaporation
What is the specific latent heat? The amount of heat that it takes to change the state of 1 kilogram of material
What is the change of state when a liquid turns into a solid? Freezing
What happens to the temperature of a substance during a change of state? It does not change.
The amount of energy it takes to make 1kg of substance to change state is called? Specific latent heat
What is happening to the heat energy added to the substance during melting and evaporation? It is being used to break bonds.
What happens the speed of atoms or molecules in substance when its temperature decreases? They move slower.
When a substance freezes, it has energy being removed from it. Why doesn’t its temperature change during freezing? The energy being removed is released from making bonds rather than making the atoms move slower.
What is the equation in words for calculating how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of a substance? Change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature rise.
What is no.7 equation in symbols? ∆Q = m x c x ∆θ
What is the equation in words for calculating how much energy is need to change the state of a substance? Thermal energy needed to change state = mass x specific latent heat.
What is the equation in no.9 in symbols? ∆Q = m x L
.Describe the movement of particles in a gas? The gas particles are far apart and move round quickly
What is the temperature of a gas a measure of? The average kinetic energy of the particles in the gas.
What is the pressure of a gas due to? It is caused the forces on the walls of the container caused by the moving particles hitting the walls.
. What happens to the pressure of a gas on the walls of a container if the gas is heated? The pressure increases.
. When a gas is heated what happens to the speed of the particles? The speed increases.
When the speed of the particles increase, how does this affect the force with which they hit the walls of the container? The force increases.
When the speed of the particles increases how does this affect the frequency at which they collide with the walls of the container? The frequency increases.
What is absolute zero? The temperature at which the pressure of a gas would be zero.
What is absolute zero in Celsius ? -273oC
How do you convert from Celsius to Kelvin? Add 273
State the equation which links density, mass and volume ρ=m/v
Name the change of state when a liquid becomes a solid freezing
Name the change of state when a solid becomes a liquid melting
Name the change of state when a liquid becomes a gas evaporation
Name the change of state when a gas becomes a liquid condensation
Name the change of state when a solid becomes a gas (without passing through liquid form) sublimation
Changes of state are caused by the amount of _________ a substance has energy
State changes are examples of ___________ change physical
Physical changes are ones which can be _____________ reversed
A change which creates new products and cannot be reversed is _________ change chemical
The energy stored inside a system by the particles which make it up is known as ____________ energy internal

Energy stored within moving objects is __________ kinetic
Energy stored in particles because of their position is…? potential energy
Particles wich are further apart have _________ potential energy more
The energy needed to raise the temperature 1 kg of a material by 1ᵒC is the __________ specific heat capacity
The average kinetic energy of particles is known as the ___________ temperature
The amount of energy required to change the state of one kilogram of a substance with no change in temperature is the …? specific latent heat

Latent heat of vaporisation is for changing….? liquid to vapour (gas)
Increasing temperature ______________ pressure in a gas if volume is constant increases
The force exerted by gas on a surface as the particles collide with it is known as….? gas pressure
State the units of density kg/m3
State the units of volume m3
Why doesn't temperature increase during melting? Energy is being used to weaken forces between particles
