physics 1A

?
which surfaces are good absorbers and emmiters of infrared radiation?
dark and matte surfaces
1 of 15
which surfaces are poor absorbers and poor emitters of infrared radiation?
light and shiny surfaces
2 of 15
what is convection?
the transfer of particles with a lot of heat energy taking the place of particles with less heat energy involving a liquid and a gas
3 of 15
what is condensation?
gas changes to liquid- particles bond together energy is released
4 of 15
what is evaporation?
liquid changes to gas- particles have low kinetic energy levels so liquid cools and evaporation happens
5 of 15
what is conduction?
movement of heat transfer from place to place
6 of 15
which surfaces are good reflectors of infrared radiation?
light and shiny surfaces
7 of 15
what is a U value?
measures how good of an insulator a material is- the lower the U value the better the insulator
8 of 15
name 3 things which an object energy transfer by heat depends on?
surface area, volume and the material of the object
9 of 15
what is meant by the term payback time?
how cost effective an appliance is
10 of 15
what is the equation for energy transferred from the mains?
E=PXT
11 of 15
what is the equation for calculating the efficiency of a device?
efficiency= useful energy out/total energy in x 100
12 of 15
what are the units for energy ?
Kwh
13 of 15
what are the units for power?
Kw
14 of 15
what are the units for time?
H
