Thermal Energy Transfer Activity 8 th Grade PSI Science Homework 3 Name You have been learning about the three different ways that energy is transferred as heat: conduction, radiation, and convection. This thermal energy transfer only occurs for two substances or between two locations when there is a temperature difference. A mug of hot cocoa that is left sitting out in a room exhibits all three methods of thermal energy transfer: the cocoa loses heat by conduction through the cup s sides (by direct contact with cooler molecules), the cup s surface loses heat by radiation as electromagnetic waves are emitted and the air near the cup heats by convection as the air by the cocoa warms, rises, cools and then sinks creating a small convection current. Directions: 1. For one day, document and describe examples of conduction, radiation and convection that you directly observed throughout the day. 2. Record your observations and descriptions on the attached sheets. 3. For each real life example, make sure to also identify which direction the heat flowed. 4.

Answers may vary slightly Heated (word description) Heated (picture) Balloon expands Cooled (word description) Cooled (picture) Balloon shrinks This happens because when the molecules of the gas (air) are heated, they move faster, spread out and thus push out on the balloon. When the air is cooled, the molecules move slower, aren t spread out and don t push out on the balloon as much so it shrinks. 4. Answers may vary slightly Heated (word description) Heated (picture) Molecules move faster and spread slightly apart Cooled (word description) Cooled (picture)
Balloon shrinks Molecules don t move as fast and are therefore closer together. Liquid molecules, being more attracted to each other than gas molecules, do not spread out as much when heated. 5. Answers may vary slightly Heated (word description) Heated (picture) Particles vibrate faster and move slightly apart Cooled (word description) Cooled (picture) Particles vibrate less and are closer together Solid molecules, being the most attracted to each other than either liquid or gas molecules, do not spread out nearly as much as gas/liquid molecules when heated.

Temperature and Kinetic Energy Review Answer Key 1. temperature 2. speed, slow 3. more (or higher) 4. vibrate 5. increases 6. expand, contract 7. 100 8. 0 degrees Celsisus, 100 degrees Celsius 9. 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 212 degrees Fahrenheit 10. Kelvins 11. In a solid, molecules are the most attracted to each other which means molecules are more or less in a fixed position. Molecular attraction in a liquid is less than that of a solid but more than that of a gas allowing molecules to slide and flow past each other. Gases have the weakest molecular attraction and gas molecules move easily and freely past each other. 12. Hot soup water molecules move faster than cold water. 13. The kinetic energy of a substance with a temperature of absolute zero is near zero. There is little to no motion. 14. They differ by 273degrees. For example, 0 degrees Celsius corresponds to 273 Kelvin, the freezing point of water. 15. When the liquid inside a thermometer is heated, it will expand. Since the liquid in a thermometer is encased in a narrow tube, the amount of expansion is easily visible and can be measured. The same principle works when the liquid inside the thermometer is cooled. In this case the liquid will contract and the liquid level will go down reflecting a decrease in temperature. 16. The alcohol level will be higher than the mercury level because the alcohol molecules are not as attracted to each other as the mercury molecules. When heated, this allows for the alcohol to experience more thermal expansion. 17. 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit 18. 13 degrees Celsius 19. a) 195 Kelvin b) -108.4 degrees Fahrenheit 20.

Thermal Energy versus Temperature Answer Key 1. A: 2g piece of ice at -1 C B: 2g piece of ice at -28 C Kinetic Energy Temperature Potential Energy Thermal Energy > > > > Justification: Higher temp Justification: Higher temp Justification: Molecules are farther apart because the temperature is more Justification: KE is more AND PE is more, so TE is more 2. A: liquid water at 25 C B: liquid water at 77 F Kinetic Energy Temperature Potential Energy Thermal Energy = Justification: They actually have the same temperature (have to convert) = Justification: They actually have the same temperature (have to convert) = Justification: Same temperature, same state. Can not be determined Justification: Do not know how much liquid there is so do not know how much total molecular energy. 3. A: 8g of nitrogen gas at -150C B: 2g of nitrogen gas at -150C Kinetic Energy Temperature Potential Energy Thermal Energy = Justification: = Justification: = Justification: > Justification: Same temperature Same temperature Same temp, same state There are more nitrogen gas molecules due to the larger mass so more total
molecular energy. 4. A: 1g of liquid water at 25C B: 4g of liquid water at 30C Kinetic Energy Temperature Potential Energy Thermal Energy < Justification: Has a lower temperature < Justification: Has a lower temperature < Justification: Has a lower temp, so molecules are closer and therefore the liquid has less PE < Justification: There is less liquid water in case A as well as less kinetic energy so there is less total molecular energy overall. Summary questions: 5. Define kinetic energy. Energy of motion 6. What does temperature indicate about the motion of molecules or particles in a substance? The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules and vice versa. 7. How is potential energy related to molecules in matter? It is related to the attractive forces between molecules in matter. The further away molecules are from being where they want to be (i.e. close together in a solid), then the more potential energy there is. 8. Explain the difference between thermal energy and temperature. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules whereas thermal energy is the TOTAL molecular energy of a substance.
Temperature and Thermal Energy Answer Key 1. Temperature is proportional to the average molecular kinetic energy. Thermal energy is the total molecular kinetic and potential energy. 2. Temperature and thermal energy are directly proportional IF the amount of substance in question is the same. 3. The hotter water will have more thermal energy because it has more kinetic energy (due to its higher temperature) and it has more potential energy, as the spacing between water molecules is slightly greater. 4. A big bowl of soup and a small cup of soup may have the exact same temperature or average molecular kinetic energy. But the bowl has more soup molecules overall, so it has more thermal energy than the small cup of soup. 5. Heat flows from the sauce to the tongue because heat flows from hot to cold and the sauce is hotter than the tongue. 6. Case a will have more energy transfer because there is a larger temperature difference between the water and the environment. 7. Two objects at the same temperature do not exchange heat because they are in thermal equilibrium. 8. A conductor is a material that easily allows for thermal energy transfer while an insulator is a material that does not. An example of a conductor is aluminum while an example of an insulator is cloth. 9. The wooden spoon will feel warmer because it is not as good a conductor as the metal spoon. In fact wood is an insulator. This means, energy is transferred less efficiently from your hand to the wooden spoon compared to when you touch the metal spoon. This means your hand cools less efficiently when you touch the wooden spoon, so the metal spoon feels cooler. 10. a. Heat transfer through direct contact b. Heat transfer from the movement or circulation of fluids or gases of different temperature. c. Heat transfer via electromagnetic radiation. 11. It does not require a medium for thermal energy transfer. 12. Conductors because molecules are closer together allowing thermal energy to transfer from molecule to molecule easily. 13. Radiation- from the warmth of the fire Conduction- marshmallows touch the fire Convection- air above fire experiences convection currents (sparks) 14. Radiation
Methods of Thermal Energy Transfer Answer Key 2. answer key for table is attached 3. Radiation- when the grill gets hot, it emits infrared radiation that travels through the air and is then absorbed by the bacon. Convection- water molecules near the bottom heat, rise, cool down at the top and then sink starting the cycle over and creating a convection current until all the water is heated. Conduction- As the pan heats, its molecules heat and start to vibrate. These vibrating molecules transfer their energy through the pan to the food. The food molecules in contact with the pan therefore start vibrating (heat up). 4. Choose one example that you got incorrect on the first try and explain why it actually belongs in the heat transfer category it is in. Answers will vary
Method of Heat Transfer Radiation Description Answers may vary some: Transfer of energy along electromagnetic waves When the wave comes into contact with an object, the energy is transferred Radiation is the only heat transfer method that can travel through empty space. Describe the animation Electromagnetic waves from the sun travel through the air and reach the house. The house absorbs this thermal energy and the temperature inside the house increases. Conduction Answers may vary some: Transfer of thermal energy between things that are in direct physical contact Heat flows when molecules in one object that are vibrating cause molecules in a neighboring object to vibrate Works best in solids because particles are close together Doesn t work as well in liquids and less so in gases due to the spacing of particles The molecules in the burner heat up and vibrate causing the molecules in the bottom of the po to vibrate because they are touching. These vibrations (thermal energy) go through the entire pot. When the person reaches to touch it, the energy from the vibrations of the molecules in the pot handle are transferred to the molecules in th hand. Ouch! Convection Answers may vary some: Transfer of heat by movement through a medium such as air or liquid Primary heat transfer method for gases and liquids When a gas or liquid is heated, the liquid expands and rises because it is less dense. When the medium cools, it sinks because it is The stove is lit warming the air around in. This air rises because less dense but then cools as it get farther away from the stove. This cool air then sinks close to the stove where it is warmed again a rises creating a convection curren
denser. The cycling of a hot medium rising and a cold medium sinking creates a convection current. Thermal Energy Transfer Activity Answer Key Answers will vary from student to student. Conductors versus Insulators Answer Key 5. 6. Metal foil, cardboard, polystyrene 7.
Specific Heat (Math Skills) Answer Key 1. 4446.75 J 2. 7.37 C 3. 54 C 4. 4.29 x 10 5 J 5. 6.06 x 10 5 J 6. 4.78 x 10 5 kg 7. 21,349J 8. 283K 9. 795 J/kg C 10. 30 C Specific Heat Answer Key 1. The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. 2. Mass, specific heat capacity, and the change in temperature 3. The apples. Since the apples have a larger specific heat capacity, it required more thermal energy to bring the apples to the same temperature as the aluminum. This larger amount of thermal energy will transfer to your hand if you touch it since your hand is cooler. 4. Sand has a lower specific heat than water. It gains more thermal energy during the day and loses more at night. 5. Wood because it has a higher specific heat than bricks. 6. a. 410 Kelvin b. 401 Kelvin. It is less because there is more mass to heat. 7. a. 6.3 x 10 6 J b. 1.0 x 10 7 J More thermal energy is required because the temperature change is greater. 8. Gold will have a higher temperature because it has a lower heat capacity meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature than copper.
9. Mass is inversely proportional to temperature change. More water yields a lower change in temperature. 10. a. inversely b. directly c. inversely Thermodynamics Answer Key 1. a. the branch of science that studies how heat and work are related b. the law of conservation of energy- energy can not be created or destroyed c. heat flows from warmer to colder and all systems increase their disorder d. a measure of the amount of disorder in a system e. something that converts heat to mechanical energy 2. Answers will vary 3. Answers should reflect animated gif from SMART notebook slide 95: air and fuel are drawn in, piston moves and compress air-fuel mix, fuel combusts and expands and pushes down on piston, exhaust is driven out. 4. Answers will vary. Sample outcome: Image from http://researchthetopic.wikispaces.com/
Hurricanes as Heat Engines Examples of output you should expect to see when your students do this activity. Possible SST maps for DURING Rita
Possible SST maps for AFTER
SST Time Series Analysis Students should see that there is large drop in sea surface temperatures after the hurricane has passed. This is because the hurricane draws in warm moist ocean surface/air and uses it almost like fuel. This fuel is converted to heat energy in the thunderstorms that form around the hurricane eye. This heat refuels the hurricane. SSTs drop because the hurricane uses up the warm surface waters to fuel itself. Often, water from deeper in the ocean upwells to replace the surface waters.
