Daily Science pg. 40 Convert the following temperatures: 45 o C into Kelvin 45 o C into Fahrenheit 309 K into Fahrenheit 98 o F into Kelvin 299 K into Celsius 8 o F into Kelvin Give an example of conduction, convection, and radiation. Explain why over exposure to the sun or to X-rays can be harmful. Calculate the kinetic energy of a wheel that has a mass of 65 kg and is rolling with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. Calculate the potential energy of a bomb that is falling from a height of 48 m and has a mass of 15 kg. Calculate the potential energy of a ball dropped from E-wing that weighs 4.8 N and is being dropped 6 m. Calculate the mass of a person in a wheelchair if they are rolling at a velocity of 0.7 m/s and have 20 j of kinetic energy.
Specific Heat Pg. 41
Conductors and insulators Conductor- a material through which energy can be transferred as heat. Examples: Insulator- a material that transfers energy poorly. Examples:
Specific Heat The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance by a certain amount is what determines if a substance will be a good or poor conductor. Specific heat is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of substance by 1 K. Specific heat is a physical property.
Specific heat values Every substance has a unique specific heat. The letter C is used to denote specific heat. Water has one of the highest specific heat values (4,186 J/kg x K)
Calculating Specific Heat Heat= mass x temperature change x specific heat value Q = m x ∆T x C Units: Mass- Temperature- Specific Heat- Heat-
Practice Problems How much energy is needed to increase the temperature of kg of iron from 283 K to 403 K? How much energy must a refrigerator absorb from 225 g of water to decrease the temperature of the water from 35 o C to 5 o C?
State changes Heat makes objects change state. Energy of a substance either raises the substance’s temperature or changes the substance’s state. NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. This is why there are horizontal lines on a phase change diagram.
