Question | Answer |
---|---|
heat from the sun | radiation |
absorption of electromagnetic waves of the sun | radiation |
metal seat buckle becomes too hot to touch | conduction |
water boiling | convection |
Is wood an insulator or conductor? | insulator |
Is metal an insulator or conductor? | conductor |
Cool air ________________, and warm air ___________________. | sinks, rises (convection) |
how a stove heats | conduction |
how a microwave heats | radiation |
conduction | Heat energy is transferred when molecules within a substance collide. |
requires no medium for transfer | radiation (electromagnetic waves) |
Convection | Heat is transferred because of density differences. |
Conduction is the transfer of heat energy by ______________. | molecular contact (direct contact) |
radiation | Heat energy is transferred in waves. |
Energy transferred through a fluid or gas where hot rises and cold sinks. | convection |
another name for heat energy | thermal energy |
The amount of heat energy transferred depends on ___________________. | the difference in temperature between the objects. |
Thermal energy moves from ______________ to ________________objects. | warmer, cooler |
occurs most easily in liquid and solids | conduction |
Conductor | transfers thermal energy very well |
Insulator | does not transfer thermal energy very well |
good conductors | silver, metal, gold, nickel, copper |
good insulators | plastic, wood, paper, rubber, glass |
