Question | Answer |
---|---|
what is heat measured in? | celsius('c) |
heat is a type of..... and this is measured by..... | heat is a type of thermal energy and this is measured by joules |
the amount of heat energy stored in something depends on? | it depends on its temperature, its material,its mass. |
heat energy always flows from a hot object to a......? | to a cool one |
what happen if there is a big difference in temperature? | the faster the heat is transferred |
what is conductor and conduction? | conductor is something that lets energy flow through it. conduction is when the heat travels through the solid |
what is an insulator? | an insulator traps heat inside, so which means its a bad conductor. |
why is feathers a good insulator? | this is because the feathers traps the air, so that the air does not move. |
explain how heat is heat conducted through a solid object | when a solid is heated the particles in it gain energy and vibrate more. the particles in it bump into each other and pass the energy on |
when does the conduction happen best and at least best at? | conduction happen best at solids because the particles are closer together and it works least best at liquid because the particles are further apart. |
