Physics Quiz: Part 8
An interactive quiz on Thermodynamics.
Fundamental Concepts Review
Heat vs. Temperature: Temperature (in K) is average molecular KE. Heat (in J) is the transfer of thermal energy.
- Specific Heat: For temperature changes, use $Q=mc\Delta T$.
- Latent Heat: For phase changes at constant temperature, use $Q=mL$.
Ideal Gas Law: Describes the state of a gas with $PV=nRT$. Remember to always use Kelvin for temperature!
Problem 1: Identifying Heat Transfer
EasyWhen you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, which is the primary mode of heat transfer responsible for this?
