20 Questions

1. A body that travels an equal distances in equal amounts of time along a circular path has a constant speed but not constant velocity. This is because velocity is a vector and thus it has magnitude as well as direction

2. Is the flow of charge. The SI unit of current is the Amp. [A]. In mathematical terms we can describe the __ __ as the rate of change of charge with time. (I = dQ/dt.)

3. A concept that had an important part in the development and acceptance of the conservation of energy and the establishment of the science of thermodynamics in the 19th century.

4. ___ shows the change in velocity in a unit time. Velocity is measured in meters per second - m/s - so acceleration is measured in (m/s)/s - or m/s2 - which can be both positive and negative.

5. The __ __ is the ratio between the change in velocity and the time interval.

6. Is the form of energy which transfers this energy from one body or system to another. This heat transfer can take place in a number of ways: convection - conduction - and radiation.

7. Is when heated particles transfer heat to another substance - such as cooking something in boiling water.

8. An __ __ is the change in velocity at one moment.

9. Is defined as the rate at which work is done. If we replace the eqn for work - W=F.ds in (1) the power - the power is then P=F.(ds/dt) - we recognize that ds/dt is the average velocity - v therefore - work is also -P=F.v.

10. The force of __ always acts between pairs of bodies and is proportional to their masses. However - the force of __ also depends on the distance between the two bodies. As the two bodies are moved further apart - the __ational force between them decre

11. Is the bending of light rays when they cross an interface between two materials with different __ indices. For example - when light passes from air into the water at an angle - the light ray will bend toward the normal to the surface.

12. Is when heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves - such as from the sun. __ can transfer heat through empty space - while the other two methods require some form of matter-on-matter contact for the transfer.

13. Is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest - or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

14. Is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation - use - conversion - and exchange of thermal energy and heat between physical systems. __ __ is classified into various mechanisms - such as thermal conduction - thermal convection -

15. Is when two items that are in thermal contact no longer transfer heat between them.

16. Define how heat transfer relates to work done by a system and place some limitations on what it is possible for a system to achieve.

17. Is a form of energy which is held in matter by the constant jostling of its particles. __ is an effect of the movement of particles. Particles transfer __ between one another by colliding with one another - and over time this will cause heat to flow

18. Is when heat flows through a heated solid.

19. H is the sum of all forces acting on an object. For example - in a tag of war - when one team is pulling the tag with a force of 100 N and the other with 80 N - the net force would be 20 N at the direction of the first team (100 N - 80 N = 20 N).

20. Is defined as the mass multiplied by the velocity. p= mv. Since the momentum depends on the velocity - it is also a vector quantity. The units for momentum are [kg.m.s-1]
