Term
How heat effects particles in solids, liquid's and gas substances
Definition
heat determines their state of matter
Term
What happens to particles when heat is added to a substance
Definition
the particles move faster
Term
How does adding heat to a substance cause expansion
Definition
the particles move faster, and this can cause the substance to change it's state of matter, or for example in a botle in baloon system the particles have more engery and cause bigger collisions which take up more room.
Term
What happens to the density of a substance when heat is added
Definition
it becomes less compact, and less dense
Term
What happens to particles when heat is taken away from a substance?
Definition
the particles slow down.
Term
How does taking away heat from a substance cause contraction
Definition
the particles slow down, and compact which takes up less space.
Term
What happens to the density of a substance when heat is taken away
Definition
the density becomes more compact and is more dense
Term
Do particles ever stop moving
Definition
no - except for 0 on the kelvin scale
Term
Is energy created or destroyed
Definition
niether, it can only be stored and transferred
Term
How does energy transfer from particle to partcile
Definition
partccles transfer engery by coliding with one another.
Term
in what direction does energy transfer? High to Low? Low to High?
Definition
High to Low. The highest speed particle in the collision cannot gain more energy it can only transfer energy away.
Term
What is the difference between particles with high kinetic energy and low kinetic energy
Definition
particles with low kinetic energy are slower moving then high kinetic energy particles.
Term
Energy transfers through the universe in what three ways?
Definition
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
Term
What phase of matter does convection, conduction, and radiation take place in?
Definition
convection - liquids and gases
conduction - solids
radiation - in space
Term
What do we call solids that are good conductors?
Definition
Conductors
Term
What do we call solids that are bad conductors?
Definition
Insulators
Term
How is density involved in convection?
Definition
particles closest to the heat become less dense and rise away from the heat, while the particles further away from the heat become more dense and fall closer to the heat which than starts this cycle over which continues continues while the heat source is avialable
Term
What is the motion and position of the particles in solids, liquids, and gas substances
Definition
Solids - close togeher and vibration
liquids - are further aparts and bumping into one another
gases - are moving really fast and bumping into on another all the time.
Term
How do substances change phases or states of matter (think of particle theater from class)
Definition
when the particles increase speed or decrease.
Term
Pressure vs Temperature; What happens to the pressure when you increase or decrease the temperature.
Definition
When the temperature increases so does the pressure, and when the temperature decreases so does the pressure.
Term
Pressure vs Volume: what happens to the pressure when you increase or decrease the volume.
Definition
When you descrease the volume of space available the pressure increase, and when you increase the volume avilable the pressure decreases.
Term
Pressure vs Mass : what happens to the pressure when you increase or decrease mass?
Definition
The pressure stays the same
Term
What is temperature a measure of?
Definition
the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
Term
What causes temperature to increase and decrease
Definition
the amount of kinetic energy in the substances particles, which can be increased by heat, or decreased by cooling.
Term
Thermal Energy
Definition
energy from heat.
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
the energy of motion
Term
Heat
Definition
the total energy given off by the vibrating particles in a substance
Term
Pressure
Definition
the force pushing on a surface, divided by the area of the surface.
Term
Expand
Definition
when a substance gets larger
Term
Contract
Definition
when a substance gets smaller
Term
Transfer (Energy Transfer)
Definition
how energy is moved from one place, or particle to another.
Term
Conduction
Definition
how energy transfers through solids.
Term
Convection
Definition
how energy transfers in liquids and gasses
Term
Radiation
Definition
how energy moves through space.
