QuestionAnswer
Describe the 3 ways of how heat energy can be transferred from hot objects. Conduction, convection and electromagnetic waves
This type of energy transfer takes place when 2 objects are in contact with uneven temperatures. conduction
This type of energy transfer involves the movement of the heated substances itself. convection
During convection, the fluid is either a liquid or a gas
Energy that is transferred as electromagnetic waves is called radiation
List 3 things that electromagnetic waves include. infrared radiation, visible light and ultraviolet light
Radiation doesn't involve the movement of matter
Because their particles are far apart and energy transfer is less, gases are _____ conductors. poor
Particles in liquids are ____ conductors. poor
Rubber and wood are ____ conductors. poor
A plastic spoon is a ____ conductor of heat. poor
A metal spoon is a ____ conductor of heat. good
This is a ratio and can be used to predict effects of larger temperature changes for masses other than 1 kg. specific heat
This is the transfer of energy as heat through a material thermal conduction
This is the movement of matter due to differences in density that are caused by temperature variations convection
This is the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations convection current
This is the energy that is transferred as electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and infrared waves radiation
What type of energy transfer is described when there is transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves? radiation
What type of energy transfer is described when there is transfer of energy between colliding particles? conduction
What type of energy transfer is described when there is transfer of energy by the movement of fluids? convection
Predict whether the hottest part of a room will be near the ceiling, in the center, or near the floor? near the ceiling because hot air rises
Explain why there are temperature differences on the moon's surface, even though there is no atmosphere present. 2 factors: varying composition of the moon's surface and location of the spot (sun or shadow).
Explain why cookies baked near the turned up edges of a cookie sheet receive more energy than those baked near the center. Cookies near the edge also receive energy from air convection currents and radiation from the side.
In general, liquids are ____ thermal conductors. poor
Molten or liquid metals are very ___ conductors. good
This is the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material 1K or 1 degree C in a specified way given constant pressure and volume specific heat

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.
