Physics - Prelims
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Specific heat | amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree celsius. |
| Method of Mixture | states that “the amount of heat absorbed by some of the bodies is equal to the amount of heat given up by the other bodies |
| Law of conservation of energy | states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed it only transform from one form to another” |
| Latent heat or hidden heat | heat that is being added to a substance at a melting point or at a boiling point. |
| latent heat of fusion (LsubF) | is the amount of heat which must be added to a unit mass of the substance to change from solid to liquid at the melting point. |
| heat of fusion | amount of heat which must be removed from a unit mass of the substance to change it from the liquid to the solid state at freezing point temperature. |
| latent heat of vaporization | amount of heat which must be added to a unit mass of the substance at boiling point to change it from liquid to vapor. |
| latent heat of solidification | the latent heat of fusion is also as the _______ denoted by LsubF. |
| latent heat of condensation | the latent heat of vaporization is also the ______ and is also denoted by LsubV. |
| 80 cal/g | latent heat of fusion for ice is approximately ___. |
| 540 cal/g | latent heat of vaporization for wawter is approximately ___. |
| linear expansion | change in any linear dimension of the solid like its length, width, or thickness. |
| Boyle’s law | At constant temperature, the volume of a sample of gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure applied to the gas. The greater the pressure, the smaller the volume. |
| Charles's law | is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. |
| Ideal gas law | combines charles's law and boyle's law. |
