Melting and boiling point in Kelvin

Answer 20

Melting= 273.15
Boiling= 373.15

Question 21

Why is there no negatives on Kelvin scale

Answer 21

Because absolute zero in Kelvin is already 0, so you can’t go below it

Question 22

What is temperature gradient

Answer 22

Change in temp over distance

Question 23

What causes a temperature gradient

Answer 23

Imbalances in rates of radiation heating and cooling within earth atmosphere

Question 24

Heat transferred from an object reduces what

Answer 24

It’s internal energy

Question 25

On the Kelvin scale, temperature is the number of kelvins

Answer 27

Above absolute zero

Question 28

Heating degrees are computed for

Answer 28

Days when average daily outdoor air temp is less than 65F

Question 29

Example: what is heating degrees of 35F

Answer 29

35 is less than 65 so we subtract 35 from 65 which would be 30 heating degree-day units

Question 30

Heat energy is more commonly measured in

Answer 30

Calories

Question 31

How many calories are needed for heat to raise temps of 1 gram of water 1 degrees Celsius

Answer 31

1 Calorie

Question 32

Heat flows in response to temperature gradient bc

Answer 32

In the 2nd law of thermodynamics, all systems tend toward a state of disorder, decreasing the gradient

Question 33

What does the 2nd law predict of an existing gradient

Answer 33

Where one exists, heat is transferred to eliminate it

Question 34

The greater the temp difference in the gradient, the

Answer 34

More rapid the rate of heat transfer

Question 35

In the atmosphere, heat is transferred via

Radiation | Convection and conduction

Question 36

Radiation is both a

Answer 36

Form of energy and means of energy transfer

Question 37

Unlike conduction and convection, radiation does not

Answer 37

Require intervening physical medium because it can travel through a vacuum

Question 38

Radiation is the principal what

Answer 38

Way the earth’s atmosphere gain energy from the sun and where heat escapes from planet to space

Question 39

The release of heat from the earth makes it

Answer 39

More habitable.

Question 40

What is absorption of radiation

Answer 40

The conversion of electromagnetic energy to heat
