Physical Science Chapter 9

QuestionAnswer
a measure of average kinetic energy of all particles in an object. temperature
kinetic energy is motion
a measure of average motion energy of particles in an object is temperature
temperature and kinetic energy ( ) ( ) are directly ( ) motion energy, proportional
lowest temperature= lowest kinetic energy
highest temperature= highest kinetic energy
as kinetic energy temperature increases, the temperature ( ) rises
as kinetic energy decreases, the temperature ( ) falls
a device to measure temperature. thermometer
some liquids expand when ( ) and ( ) when cooled heated, contracts
particles of liquid mercury move ( ) apart from eachother when they have more ( ) energy farther, heat
the ( ) climbs the narrow column in the thermometer mercury
what are the three types of temperature scales fahrenheit, celsius (also called centigrade), kelvin
based on a lowest possible temperature called ( ) ( ) absolute zero
this is a theoretical temperature thought to stop all particle motion absolute zero
( ) does not use word ( ) or symbol for ( ) kelvin, degree, degree
a verb meaning to make something warmer heat
a noun that is the energy of warmth thermal energy
( ) energy ( ) flows from where there is more to where there is ( )....from ( ) to ( ) thermal, always, less, warm, cold
in the 1700's scientists thought that ( ) energy was ( ) fluid thermal, invisible
in the 1750's benjamin thompson(also known as count rumford) did an experiment that supported the idea that ( ) is a form of ( ) and not and invisible ( ) heat, energy, fluid
thermal energy was produced when a drill bit was in motion but not when the drill was ( ) stopped
transfer of thermal energy between two objects in contact with eachother conduction
rapidly ( ) particles in one object ( ) with slower vibrating particles of the other object, speeding up their ( ) vibrating, collide, motions
( ) may also occur within particles of one ( ) as and object is ( ) from one side conduction, object, heated,
transfer of thermal energy by movement fluids or gases with different temperatures convection
warmer fluids and gases move ( ) and cooler ones ( ) up, sink
the flow of fluid or gas due to heating and cooling convection current
transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves radiation
this can travel through ( ) or through a ( ) outerspace, vacuum
radiation is the ( ) ( ) that can do this only one
objects absorb ( ) waves and change some of them into ( ) energy electromagnetic, thermal
( ) objects absorb more energy and therefore can turn more into thermal energy that can ( ) objects dark, light
are materials that thermal energy easily moves through conductors
are materials that do not let thermal energy easily pass through insulators
the standard rating for building insulations is called the ( ) R-valve
the higher the R-Valve, the ( ) a materials ability to resist energy transfer, this is a ( ) ( ) greater, better insulator
the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg. of a substance by 1 k. specific heat
it takes ( ) thermal energy to raise the temp. of 1 kg water than it does for 1 kg ( ) more, copper
( ) is a better conductor than water copper
many heating and cooling systems use ( ) substances that easily evaporate and ( ) liquid, condense
this ( ) and ( ) energy away from surroundings, thus cooling surroundings evaporates, absorbs
( ) and ( ) thermal energy to the surroundings, thus warming the surroundings condensing, releasing
most use ( ) to distribute thermal energy convection
boiler where fuel is burned to change chemical energy into thermal energy hot-water heat
a circulating pump may then convert ( ) energy into ( ) energy to move the heated water electrical, kinetic
similar to hot water heat, but steam is circulated steam heat
converts electical energy to thermal energy electic baseboard
the warm air ( ) by convection currents rises
an electric ( ) pump reverses ( ) flow of energy by circulating ( ) liquid and using a compress heat, refrigernat
( ) air systems use electrical energy, gas or ( ) chemical energy and convert it to ( ) energy forced, oil, chemical, thermal
hot air ( ) using fans circulates
these transfer ( ) energy from cool area to ( ) areas (requires input of energy to do this) thermal, warm
a motor does ( ) of gas to liquid compression
this releases ( ) to outdoors heat
if coils are out there.... you can not use a ( ) with the door open to cool the ( ) refrigerator, kitchen
a coil carries ( ) to inside area where it absorbs ( ) energy from room and becomes ( ) liquid, thermal, gas
james prescott joule is given credit for discovering this one. it says that energy is conserved. we dont make or destroy energy, it just changes form first law
you cannot take thermal energy from somewhere cool and put it somewhere warmer with out adding energy from outside the system second law
absolute zero is not achievable third law

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.
