From where does heat transfer occur?
Heat transfers from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the average kinetic energy present in a system.
What is the definition of
heat
?
Heat is
energy transferred
from one body to another as a result of a
difference
in temperature.
How is
temperature
defined?
Temperature is the measure of
hotness
or
coldness
of an object.
What is heat transfer?
Heat transfer is a form of
thermal energy
due to
temperature differences.
What does thermal equilibrium mean?
Thermal equilibrium occurs when objects have the same temperature, and
heat transfer
cannot happen.
What are the methods of heat transfer?
Conduction
- Through a medium from one point to another (direct contact)
Convection
- Physical movement of fluid
Radiation
- Does not need direct contact; occurs in the form of
electromagnetic
waves
What is conduction in heat transfer?
Conduction is
heat transfer
through a
medium
from one point to another via direct contact.
What is convection in heat transfer?
Convection is the
physical movement
of fluid that
transfers heat.
What is radiation in heat transfer?
Radiation is
heat transfer
that does
not
require direct contact and occurs in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is
electric charge
?
Electric charge
is carried by some elementary particles and governs how particles are affected by
electric
or magnetic fields.
How is electric charge measured?
Electric charge is measured in
coulombs
(
C
).
What does the law of charges state?
The law of charges states that like charges
repel
each other, while opposite charges
attract.
What is the law of conservation of charge?
The law of
conservation
of
charge
states that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes.
What are the methods of charging an object?
Charging by
Friction
- Insulating materials rub against each other.
Charging by
Induction
- Charges an object without touching it.
Charging by
Conduction
- Involves touching a charged object to a neutral object.
What is
motion
?
Motion
is the action of
changing
location or position.
What are scalar and vector quantities?
Scalar
Quantities: Magnitude only (Examples: Distance, Displacement)
Vector
Quantities: Magnitude and direction (Examples: Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration)
What is a motion diagram?
A
motion diagram
is a composite photo that shows the
position
of an object at several equally spaced time intervals.
What is distance?
Distance is how far two points are, the total
length
of the path traveled by a moving object regardless of
direction.
What is
displacement
?
Displacement is an object's
change
in position to a particular direction and is a
vector
quantity.
What is speed?
Speed
is the distance covered per time of
travel.
What
is the formula for speed?
Speed
= Distance over
Time
, or
s
=
s =
s
=
d
t
\frac{d}{t}
t
d
.
What is velocity?
Velocity is
speed
with
direction.
How are directions defined in motion?
North (Up) and East (Right) are
positive
, while South (Down) and West (Left) are
negative.
What is the displacement if an object returns to the starting point?
If an object returns to the starting point, the displacement is
0.
What are examples of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms?
Eukaryotic
Examples:
animals
,
plants
,
fungi
, and
protozoans
Prokaryotic
Examples:
bacteria
and
archaea
What are the similarities and differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Similarities:
DNA
Plasma Membrane
Cytoplasm
Ribosomes
Differences:
DNA structure
Organelles
Reproduction
Average Size
What are the main cell organelles and their functions?
Plasma/Cell Membrane
: Porous and semipermeable membrane surrounding an animal cell.
Nucleus
: Contains
instructions
for
cell functions.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
(ER):
Membranes
found in almost
all eukaryotic
cells (
Smooth
and
Rough
ER).
Ribosomes
: Involved in
synthesizing proteins.
Mitochondrion: Releases energy from food breakdown.
Golgi Apparatus
: Modifies
proteins
/
lipids
and
transports
substances out of the cell.
Lysosome
:
Waste disposal unit
of the cell.
Vacuole
:
Stores nutrients
like
food
and
water.
Peroxisome
:
Digests
compounds like
fats
,
amino acids
, and
sugars.
Centrosomes
: Involved in
cell division
and
production
of
flagella
and
cilia.
Villi:
Needle-like growths
extending from the
plasma membrane.
Flagellum
:
Long
,
thin
extension of the
plasma membrane
driven by
proteins.
Cell Wall
: Distinguishing feature of
plant
cells.
