Heat Flashcards
What three ways can heat move
By conduction convection radiation
Is heat the same as temperature
No
What is conduction
Conduction occurs when particles pass on the more increased vibrations
What are good conductors
Metals preferably gold and copper and solids
What a bad conductors
Paper and wood and plastic and liquids and gasses
What are poor conductors named
Insulators
What method does convection use
The particles move around and spread the heat
Why does heat rise
Because particles are more spread out than cold air
Does method work for liquids and solids
Only liquids
What are examples of convection
Hot air balloons, smoke
Give examples of cold air drops
Air conditions are on the ceiling
What cause convection currents
When hot air rises and cold air drops
In the atmosphere these currents are felt as
Wind
The transfer between the sun and earth
Radiation
What shades absorb heat
Dark
