Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
What is the specific heat capacity of a substance?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
What is thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct heat.
What is the coefficient of linear expansion?
The coefficient of linear expansion is a measure of how much a material expands or contracts in length for each degree change in temperature.
What is the specific heat capacity of water?
The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C.
What is an insulator?
An insulator is a material that does not conduct heat well.
What is conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact between particles of a substance.
What is specific latent heat?
Specific latent heat is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a unit mass of a substance without changing its temperature.
What is the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of water is 100°C.
What is thermal equilibrium?
Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects are at the same temperature and no heat flows between them.
What is an example of a good conductor of heat?
An example of a good conductor of heat is copper.
What is the latent heat of fusion?
The latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change a unit mass of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point.
What is the freezing point of water?
The freezing point of water is 0°C.
What is radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves.
What is an example of a good insulator?
An example of a good insulator is wood.
