Review for Thermal Physics Test
You need to know: How to interpret the heating curve for a substance, especially water Phase changes do not involve temperature change The difference between heat energy and temperature How to convert temperatures: K o C o F That temperature is proportional to kinetic energy
3 Temperature vs Heat (Heating Curve)
Determine heat energy using: Q = mc tQ = mH f Q = mH v Law of Heat Exchange Q lost = Q gained
You need to know Determine pressure given force and area P = F A How to solve problems involving gases P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 PV = nRT T 1 T 2
