What is Heat?
A measure of energy
1 of 28
What happens when a substance us heated?
Particles gain kinetic energy
2 of 28
What happens in gases and liquids?
Particles move faster
3 of 28
What happens in solids?
Particles viberate
4 of 28
What is temperature?
A measure of hotness
5 of 28
What happens to the KE if somethings hot?
KE increases
6 of 28
How does energy flow?
From hot to cool objects
7 of 28
What happens if theres a difference in temperature?
Engery then flows between the two objects
8 of 28
What does the specific heat capacity show?
How much energy something can store
9 of 28
What is Specific heat capacity?
How much energy it takes to heat 1KG of something by 1 degree
10 of 28
What is the formula for Specific heat capacity?
Energy= Mass x Specific heat capacity x temperature change
11 of 28
Descibe the heating process?
Solid (melting), liquid (boiling), gas
12 of 28
Descibe the process of cooling?
Gas (condensing), liquid (freezing), solid
13 of 28
What is specific latent heat?
The energy needed to melt/boil 1KG material without changing its temperature
14 of 28
Formula for Specific latent heat?
Energy= Specific latent heat x mass
15 of 28
Where does conduction occur?
Solids
16 of 28
Explain the process of conduction?
Conduction of heat is the process where viberting particles pass on extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles
17 of 28
Where does covection occur?
Liquids and gases
18 of 28
Explain the process of convection?
Convection occurs when the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region and taking their heat with them.
19 of 28
How is radiation different to conduction and convection?
Does not need a medium to travel through and can only occur through transparent materials like air, sun or glass
20 of 28
What is a good absorber and emitter of radiation?
Matt black surface
21 of 28
Name a poor absorber?
White shiny surfaces as they deflect heat
22 of 28
How to grills and toasters heat food?
Using infrared radiation
23 of 28
Name a source that emmits infrared radiation?
A radiator
24 of 28
Name a source that loses energy?
Computers and windows
25 of 28
Name some ways to prevent energy lose?
Curtains can be used as windows are energy sinks
26 of 28
What is payback time?
When you have something to reduce energy loss and eventually the money saved covers the initial cost
27 of 28
Formula for payback time?
Payback time = Initial cost / annual saving
