Science Chapter 17 Effects Of Heat And Its Transmission

Expansion refers to when an object absorbs heat and increases in size due to the increased space between particles, resulting in volume increasing and density decreasing.

Contraction refers to the process where an object loses heat and decreases in size due to the particles coming closer together, leading to a decrease in volume and an increase in density.

Hotness and coldness is a measure of an object's temperature, which can be accurately measured using a thermometer.

The common unit for temperature used in everyday measurements is Celsius (°C). While Fahrenheit is commonly used in the United States, Celsius is the standard unit in most other parts of the world. Kelvin is used in scientific measurements, and Rankine is another unit that is not commonly used.

The Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), while Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine are other temperature scales commonly used worldwide.

0K is also known as absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature where particles have minimal motion.

The correct answer explains the relationship between the temperature of the Ball and its ability to pass through the Ring.

The correct relationship between Mass, Density, and Volume is governed by the formulas: Mass = Density x Volume, Density = Mass/Volume, and Volume = Mass/Density.

When an object increases or decreases in size, its volume and density will change due to the alteration in dimensions, but the mass remains constant as it is an intrinsic property of the object.

A bimetallic strip is a component that bends due to differential expansion of two different metals bonded together. It is commonly used in thermostats and other temperature-sensitive devices.

The correct answer explains the behavior of a Bimetallic Strip, how it functions as a temperature-controlled switch in various devices.

A bimetallic strip is a component made of two different metals that expand at different rates when heated. This property is utilized in devices like fire alarms and refrigerators where the strip bends due to temperature changes, triggering an action such as sounding an alarm or regulating the temperature.

Conduction is the process of heat or electricity being directly transferred through a material without any visible movement of the medium. It occurs through contact between particles.

Convection is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of particles in a liquid or gas, where hot particles rise and cool particles sink. It is not applicable to solids and does not occur in a vacuum.

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, without the need for a medium or direct contact.

Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electricity due to the presence of free electrons, while insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of electricity easily as they do not have free electrons to carry electric current.

A conductor is a material through which heat can easily pass, allowing for efficient transfer of heat energy.

An insultator is a material that slows down the transfer of heat, keeping one warm by preventing heat loss. It is not related to verbal insults, insulating clothing layers, or tools for fast heat transfer.
