Q

Convection

A

Heat travels through a fluid (liquid or a gas) when the particles move and carry the heat

Q

Radiation

A

Heat travels from a hot object without the need for a medium, does not
Need a solid, liquid or gas to go through, will flow through a vacuum

Q

Winds are formed by convection?

A

The sun heats the earth
This causes hot air to rise
As the hot air rises it cools and then sinks down to the ground

Q

Thermometer

A

Heat measurer.
The liquid in the thermometer will expand and rise when heated and will contract and fall when cooled.
It is measured between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius

15
Q

Boiling point of water

16
Q

Freezing point of water

17
Q

Melting point

A

Is when a solid turns to a liquid

18
Q

Boiling point

A

Is when a liquid turns to a gas

19
Q

Freezing point

A

Is when a liquid turns to a solid

20
Q

Condensation

A

Is a gas turning to a liquid

21
Q

Evaporation

A

When a liquid turns to a gas

22
Q

Pressure and boiling point

A

A kettle will normally boil at 100°C
But will boil at 70°C on top of Mt.Everest
Atmospheric pressure is less so it is easier for the water vapour to escape!

23
Q

Latent heat

A

The heat taken in or given out when a substance is changing state without changing in temperature

24
Latent heat
The heat taken in or given out when a substance is changing state without a change in temperature
25
Latent heat or fusion
Is used when a solid changes into a liquid
26
Latent heat of vaporisation
Is used when a liquid changes to a gas
27
Measured
In a joule
28
Dull, black surface radiates
Absorbs heat better than a shiny surface
29
When a water a below 4°C
It begins to expand
30
The amount of heat in a substance depends on
Temperature, mass and what it is made of e.g. 200ml of water at 60°C has twice as much heat as 100ml of water at 60°C
