Hands-On-Physics Physics Concepts - Introduction - Introductory Ideas Heat Temperature Flow Mathematical Representation ... Physics Glossary Heat You can usually warm something by adding energy. The added energy can be from light, electricity, friction, a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or any other kind of energy. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy, or, simply heat. All three terms mean the same thing. Heat is a form of energy, so it has the units of energy. In the SI system, this is Joules . Many other units to measure thermal energy are in common use. Calories and BTU's are common heat units. Temperature You cannot measure heat directly, but you can detect its effect on a substance. Changes in heat can usually be detected as changes in temperature. Usually, when you add energy to a bunch of atoms they move faster and get hotter. Similarly, if you remove energy from a bunch of atoms, they usually move less and get cooler. Figure P1 a Cold Figure P1 b Warm Figure P1 c Hot Because adding heat energy usually results in a temperature rise, people often confuse heat and temperature. In common speech, the two terms mean the same: "I will heat it" means you will add heat; "I will warm it up" means you will increase the temperature. No one usually bothers to distinguish between these.

Hands-On-Physics Advanced Mechanics Concepts: GLOSSARY Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity vector changes Charges are the basis of electricity. A charge exert forces on other charges. The smallest charge is the charge of an electron, 0.000000000000000016 Coulombs. Current is the rate of flow of electrical charge. One of the undefined qualities of physics, it measures the separation of two points. Dependent Variable When two variables are related, we say that one depends on the other. This variable is called the dependent variable . The"other" variable is free to roam so it is called the independent variable. In a scientific experiment, the experimenter chooses values for the independent variable, runs the experiment, and measures the dependent variable. Ordered pairs of choosen and measured values (independent and dependent) are often plotted on a two dimensional graph for visualization. The dependent variable is traditionally plotted on the vertical axis. The energy of an object increases when work is done on it. An increase in energy may heat up the object, speed it up, lift it up, or all of the above. The strength of a force is defined by the rate at which it can speed up one kilogram of mass.

THERMAL PHYSICS - STUDY UNIT 3 - DISORDERING: THE CONCEPT OF ENTROPY - INTENTION In the case of a transfer of energy by heat to a system, we would expect We imagine a system 1 transferring energy by heat to system 2, as shown in fig. http://www.structuralcommunication.com/sc/thermalphysics/sc_thermalphysics_unit3

STUDY UNIT 3 - DISORDERING: THE CONCEPT OF ENTROPY INTENTION Every physical system has "locked up" within it a store of energy which can be decreased or increased by interaction with other systems. The internal energy is related to the internal structure and internal processes of the system. For convenience, we consider the internal energy as consisting of two parts. One part consists of some kind of mechanical potential energy-for example, magnetic energy, or the chemical energy related to the molecular structure, or even the zero-point-energy that every material system has in order to exist at all. The other part consists of thermal energy. What are the important differences between these two parts of the internal energy? Energy in transit produces changes. So a store of energy can produce external results by diminishing, i.e. by losing energy. A store of mechanical energy can be used to shift a load from one place to another - by work . A compressed spring can exert a force and push the load. An electric battery can produce an electromagnetic field that can propel the load on a magnetic carriage. A raised weight in falling can produce the necessary traction. And so on. But how can the store of energy in a furnace, say, be used to shift a load? Heat cannot move anything.

64. College Physics For Students Of Biology And Chemistry - Heat Flow The temperature of a substance changes as heat energy is added to it. Conduction is the flow of heat energy from regions of warmer temperature to http://www.rwc.uc.edu/koehler/biophys.2ed/heat.html

Heat Flow Heat (denoted by Q) is thermal energy : the energy of a system of particles randomly colliding with each other and objects in their environment. It has dimensions of energy, but it is NOT a state variable : unlike temperature, its value does depend on the past history of the system. For instance, a system can be isothermally expanded by adding heat, or its pressure can be slowly decreased without the addition of heat. Yet the final pressure, temperature and volume are the same. The temperature of a substance changes as heat energy is added to it. The heat capacity (denoted by C) of an object is the ratio of change in heat to change in temperature, and the specific heat (denoted by c) of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass. We therefore have D Q = m c D T. Some useful specfic heats are: water 4.186 kJ / kg K ice water vapor human tissue air Ice and water vapor (steam) are alternate phases of water. For a given substance at a given pressure, phase changes occur at well-defined temperatures. For water at standard atmospheric pressure (at the surface of the earth), those are 273.15K and 373.15K: C and 100C, the freezing and boiling points, which define the Celsius degree, and therefore the Kelvin . For a given substance, the heat change per unit mass required for a

THE PHYSICS OF HEAT PROCESSING Knowledge of Heat Transfer Promotes Efficient Use of Energy When heat is exchanged between matter, or parts of the same matter, it is called heat transfer . Heat transfer always occurs from warm to cool. Heat is generally transferred by one, or a combination, of three processes: CONDUCTION CONVECTION RADIATION CONDUCTION If heat is applied directly to one part of a solid object, the electrons become excited. This causes molecular collisions which travel along the object, heating as it passes through. This transfer of heat within a solid is known as conduction This ability to transfer heat within an object is called thermal conductivity . It varies for different materials. Gold, silver and copper have high thermal conductivity. These materials are also good conductors of electricity. Other materials, such as glass and mineral wool, have low thermal conductivity. This quality makes them good insulators CONVECTION Conduction between objects, where one is a gas or liquid, is called convection . As gasses or liquids are heated, the excited molecules achieve a fluid motion. Where gravity is a factor, such as here on earth, the natural fluid motion moves the heated, less dense molecules up and the cooler, more compact molecules down. This is why heating vents are located along the floor, while air-conditioning outlets are located near the ceiling.

77. Relevant Very Elementary Physics an opinion on nuclear energy requires just a little bit of physics. About 2/3 of the heat energy is lost, and is emitted to the atmosphere or to a http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/progress/physics.html

Relevant Very Elementary Physics, mostly nuclear. Up to: FAQ on nuclear energy. Unless one takes some rather complex facts on authority, which may be good enough depending on the authority, forming an opinion on nuclear energy requires just a little bit of physics. Let me assure the reader that nothing in what follows is controversial. Many readers will find nothing they don't already know. Here are some facts. Energy is an additive quantitative entity. Thus if you use 50 kilowatt-hours of energy for one purpose and 40 kilowatt-hours for another purpose, then you will have to pay for 90 kilowatt-hours at the end of the month. The United States generated 2.572 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 1987. A kilowatt-hour cost approximately between $.02 and $.10 in 1987 depending on the customer and the utility. Power is measured in watts or kilowatts (1,000 watts) or megawatts (one million watts. An electric generator is rated in watts. A large nuclear power plant has a power of 1,000 megawatts (or one gigawatt). If a one kilowatt generator runs for an hour, it produces a kilowatt-hour of electric energy. The amount of energy handled by humanity is still small compared to the amount of energy in the sunlight that strikes the earth. It's about one part in 50,000.

Heat and First Law of Thermodynamics Objectives: Understand the concepts of heat, internal energy, and thermodynamic processes. Define and discuss the calorie, heat capacity, specific heat, and latent heat. Provide a qualitative description of different types of phase changes which a substance may undergo, and the changes in energy which accompany such processes. Discuss the possible mechanisms which can give rise to heat transfer between a system and its surroundings; that is, heat conduction, convection and radiation. You should also be able to state the basic law of heat conduction, and give a realistic example of each heat transfer mechanism. Understand how work is defined when a system undergoes a change in state, and the fact that work (like heat) depends on the path taken by the system. You should know how to sketch processes on a PV diagram, and calculate work using these diagrams. State the first law of thermodynamics ( D U=Q-W), and explain the meaning of the three forms of energy contained in this statement. Discuss the implications of the first law of thermodynamics as applied to (a) an isolated system, (b) a cyclic process, (c) an adiabatic process, and (d) an isothermal process.

80. The Physics Of Everyday Stuff, By Sam Hokin All of this energy gets converted to heat in the tires and road and air as the The conversion of kinetic energy to heat is done by the work of friction, http://www.bsharp.org/physics/stuff/skidmarks.html

Skidmark Forensics An important task in auto accident recostruction is the analysis of skidmarks, which I call "skidmark forensics". Armed with data on the car's tires and the road surface, a accident reconstruction engineer can make a good estimate of a car's speed just before the driver hit the brakes. We can get the basic idea using a very simple model of friction. (Photo from The Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin Sliding Friction A common model of friction comes from the observation that the heavier an object is, the harder it sticks to a surface. If you call the force you have to use to push a sliding object f , then the simplest model of friction that makes f increase with object weight is one that just says f is proportional to weight mg (where m is the mass of the car and g=9.8 coefficient of kinetic friction , and accident investigators have tables for all sorts of tires and road surfaces. So how long is a skidmark for a given initial car speed? There are a couple ways of figuring this out. I'll use an energy technique here. The main idea is this: the car is hurtling along at speed v , which means it has a lot of kinetic energy of motion associated with it. If the car has mass
