Q

In terms of collision theory, how does temperature affect the Ror

A

Its gives the particles of the reactants kinetic energy which increases the particle’s speed. This allows for a higher chance of particles colliding resulting in a reaction.

Q

In terms of colllision theory,how does concentration affect the Ror

A

Q

In terms of collision theory,how does surface area affect the Ror

A

When the surface area is increased , the mass of the reactant is split into more pieces. This gives it a higher chance of Ror as there is more space for reactants to collide and react.

Q

Who suggested the planets moved in elipses and when?

How did this disprove the last models?

A

Johannes Kepler in 1600AD

The models prior to this suggested the planets moved in circles

The gravitational pull of the sun results in the planets orbits being eliptical

25
Who discovered infra red radiation
William hershall
26
What did people back then use to answer the unkown
Religion
27
Who and when documented the first astronmocial observance
1000bce the babylonians
28
Who figured out that the milky way was not the only galaxy and when
Edwin hubble did in the 1920s
29
What does hubble's law theorize
The universe is constantly expanding and is getting faster and faster
30
What are the different types pf galaxies
Spiral,irregular and ellipitical
31
What is dark matter
Invisible matter that does not react to electromagnetic forces
32
When is it believed that the solar system was formed
4.6 billion years ago
33
How was the solar system formed
A large supernova occured woth its effect travelling in waves. A solar nebula was formed along witha large cloud of dustcand gas which formed stars and moons
34
How was our sun formed
The gas (hydrogen)nwhich was at the center of the nebula that occured has collapsed cuasing the creation of the sun
35
When is it believed that the earth was formed after the big bang
9 billion years after the universe was formed
36
What can the big bang be described as
The point where space and time started to exapnd beyong something smaller than an atom
37
In terms of waves, if an object is moving away from us what happens to the light's wavelength.
It is gets longer and if the object is moving towards us it gets shorter.
38
What do all luminous objects emit
Waves with wavelengths
39
What is the definiton of a wave length
The distance between two identical points on a successive wave
40
The wavelength of blue light is shorter than red light
Yes
41
What is light recieved on earth from a galaxy said to be
Red shifted
42
What are some evidence for the age of the big bang
CMBR,red shift
43
What forces keep a satellite in orbit
Velocity(straight course) and gravitational pull(so it doesn't fly off to the next kown universe)
44
How does a satellite get put into orbit
By a rocket
45
What are the types of satellite
Geostationary,Polar and low eart orbit
46
What does it mean if something is in a geostationary orbit
It is always in one spot above the equator
47
What does it meam if something is in a low earth orbit
It is 1000 km from the earth
48
What does something in a polar orbit go over
The north and south pole
49
How long does it take for a geostationary staellite to make a full orbit
One day
50
How long does it take for a low plar orbit to orbit once
90 minutes
51
How long does it take for a low earth orbit to orbit once
90 minutes
52
What orbits stay above the same point all the time
Geostationary and low polar orbit Not LEO
53
What are the 2 types of telescope
Refracting and reflecting
54
How does a refracting telescope work
Bends light through a lens to form an image
55
What are the disadvantages of a refracting telescope
Some light is reflected off the lens leading to afaint image Large leneses asre needed to inprove magnification
56
Life cycle of stars with low mass: detailed (kinda) ඩ
-The cloud of gas and dust heats as it contracts. When it's hot but hasn't started nuclear fusion, it's known as a protostar and this stage can last for around 100000 years -Stars are formed from the cloud and collapse under their own gravity and can begin nuclear fusion. -When it starts fusion, the star will shine and the outward pressure will stabilise the star's gravity, now know as a **'Main Sequence Star'** -Core of star heats as contracts until hydrogen fusion begins -The star will then exhaust it's hydrogen and will begin fusing helium and swells out, end of Main Sequence. Helium keeps fusing until hot enough to fuse into oxygen and carbon.
57
Continued star stages: smol
-same size or smaller than our sun swell and become red giant -when fusion srops radiation is released and star collapses onself becoming a white dwarf, the cools down and becomes black dwarf
58
How to operate a nuclear power station
Control rods with uranium or plutonium create heat, transferred to water to make it steam. Radioactive heated water to power different water system, linked to a turbine which produces electricity. Converted back to water in condenser to go back into reactor vessel for another cycle
59
How to operate coal-fired power station
Coal burned in boiler to heat water to become steam, drives turbine which converted into electricity theough generator, steam cooled back to water ready for another cycle
60
What are the different energy resources
Biofuels,nuclear power,fossil fuels,geothermal,solar,tidal and wind
61
How does biofuel produce energy
Chemical energy stored in once alive things are transferred into thermal energy which boils the water
62
How is most energy(electricity) made and related
Thermal energy is made which boils water into steam that turns a generator. This turns kinetic energy into electricity
63
How does nuclear power create energy
Atoms in radioactive fuels are split into two which causes a chain reaction. When they split they create enegy which boiils watr
64
How do fosil fuels produce energy
Thwy are burned tansferring chenical energy into thermal which boils wter( greenhouse gaes are also emitted when brned)
65
How does geothermal energy produce electricity
Use the earth's natural heat caused from hot rocks which boils water that is Fed underground . This turns into steam
66
How does solar energy create power
Energy from the sun iis used to heat solar panels which is made into electricity by the panel or cells(very low energy made)
67
How does tidal power create electricity
High tide is trapped and released as a low tide. When released,turbines are spun which creates energy
68
How does wind energy create electricity
The force of the wind causes the blades to spin which transforms kinetic energy to electricity
