Q

Heat is also known as _______ or ________ .

A

Thermal/Internal Energy

20
Q

This refers to the properties that change when an object’s temperature changes,

A

Thermometric Properties

21
Q

True or False.
Only certain matters expand when heated because of the increased vibration of the molecules.

A

False
(ALL matters expand when heated)

22
Q

This occurs when an object’s temperature changes and its length changes.

A

Linear Expansion

23
Q

True or False.
Regarding linear expansion the change in length is directly proportional to change in temperature for extreme temperature changes.

A

False
(for MODERATE temperature changes)

24
Q

True or False.
When an object undergoes thermal expansion, any holes in the object expand as well.

25
True or False. Increasing temperature causes an increase in volume for only solid materials.
False (for solid AND LIQUID materials)
26
Energy transfer that takes place solely because of temperature difference is called _________ or _________.
Heat Flow/Heat Transfer
27
The energy that is transferred due to heat flow or heat transfer is called ______.
Heat
28
______ means measuring heat.
Calorimetry
29
What method of heat transfer happens when there is a transfer of heat through collision within a substance (especially solid).
Conduction
30
What method of heat transfer happens when there is a transfer of heat in gas or liquid through currents in the heated fluid. The fluid carries energy, such as hot air rising.
Convection
31
What method of heat transfer happens when there is a transfer of energy at light speed through electromagnetic waves.
Radiation
32
This refers to the energy radiated in a form of electromagnetic waves.
Radiant Energy
33
This refers to the amount of heat to raise the temperature of a gram of water from 14.5°C to 15.5°C.
Calorie
34
This refers to the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1°F .
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
35
True or False. The quantity of heat required to increase the temperature of a mass of a certain material is proportional to the change in temperature and the mass.
True
36
This is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature by 1°C for the mass of 1kg.
Specific heat (c)
37
This is the branch of science that deals with the properties of matter and changes due to the effects of heat and work.
Thermodynamics
38
It is the study of heat and work.
Thermodynamics
39
True or False. The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that if C is in thermal equilibrium with A and B, then A and B are not in thermal equilibrium with each other.
False (Then A and B are ALSO in thermal equilibrium with each other)
40
True or False. The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that two systems are in thermal equilibrium if they have the same temperature.
True
41
According to the conservation of energy, the energy leaving a body is less than the energy entering another body in an isolated system.
False (the energy leaving a body is equal to the energy entering another body)
42
______ results when heat is absorbed or released without a change in temperature.
Phase Change
43
This refers to the change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the energy added to the system through heat minus the work done by the system on its surroundings.
First Law of Thermodynamics
44
This is the sum of the kinetic energies of all its constituent particles plus the sum of all the potential energies of the interaction among the particles.
Internal Energy
44
A _________ is a system that can exchange energy, but not matter, with its surroundings.
Closed System
