Radioactive isotopes are A… with unstable n… that undergo radioactive d… emitting radiation as they become s…
Atoms, nuclei, decay, stable
Give the 3 radiation types
Gamma Beta Alpha
Give 3 examples of where radioactive isotopes are used
Medicine, industry, research
Specific Heat Capacity is the property of a substance that describes how much e… is needed to raise the t… of 1kg of s… by 1 degree
energy, temperature, substance
Where do we use SHC?
cooking, car cooling systems and computer cooling systems
What is the equation for SHC
Energy= Mass x SHC x temperature of change
Why do we use SHC?
To allow materials with low SHC to heat up and cool down quickly
What is density?
how much mass is in a certain amount of volume
What is the calculation for density and the name?
Density= mass divided by volume, use the triangle method
