Heat Engine - CORRECT ANSWER - A system that converts heat or thermal
energy—and chemical energy—to mechanical energy, which can then be used
to do mechanical work. It does this by bringing a working substance from a
higher state temperature to a lower state temperature.
heat engine - CORRECT ANSWER - A refrigerator is the opposite of a
_________.
Specific Heat - CORRECT ANSWER - Heat required to be added or taken
away from a kilogram of a substance to get the substance to go up or down by 1
degree C.
Temperature - CORRECT ANSWER - Property of a body of matter that gives
rise to sensations of hot and cold
thermal expansion of a liquid - CORRECT ANSWER - Liquid in glass
thermometers work based on ___________ __________ properties.
Density - CORRECT ANSWER - Mass per unit volume. The heft of an object.
Pressure - CORRECT ANSWER - Force per unit area.
Archimedes Principle - CORRECT ANSWER - the principle that states that
the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight
of the volume of fluid that the object displaces
, Heat of Vaporization - CORRECT ANSWER - The quantity of heat a liquid
must absorb for 1 kg of it to be converted from the liquid to the gaseous state.
Radiation - CORRECT ANSWER - Heat transferred by means of
electromagnetic waves.
Conduction - CORRECT ANSWER - Heat transferred by molecular
collisions.
absolute zero - CORRECT ANSWER - A theoretical temperature that has
never been reached since all motions of atoms would stop.
electromagnetism - CORRECT ANSWER - the interaction of electric currents
or fields and magnetic fields.
convection - CORRECT ANSWER - heat transfer by means of moving fluid.
transformer - CORRECT ANSWER - electrical device that transfers electrical
energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Current - CORRECT ANSWER - Flow of charge from one place to another.
Coulomb - CORRECT ANSWER - Unit of electric charge.
Superconductor - CORRECT ANSWER - a supercooled material that has no
electrical resistance; a current can flow indefinitely through a ______-without
losing energy
Quarks - CORRECT ANSWER - smaller particles making up all hadrons
including protons and neutrons
