When ice on a plate melts why does the plate cool down as well?
When ice is placed on a plate that is warmer than the ice, some of the heat energy from the plate is transferred to the ice. (This is due to the molecules in the plate transferring kinetic energy to those in the ice. The molecules in the plate crash into those in the ice, losing speed and giving the molecules in the ice more speed). Since the heat energy is transferred away from the plate, the plate cools down. (The ice is not cooling down, it is heating up.)
Why is a metal plate used in heat sinks?
because metal is a good conductor of energy (there are a lot of free electrons in a metal) and this will cause the metal to absorb and radiate more energy combined with the increased surface area of the heat sink
How does temperature affect energy?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
Is light thermal energy?
Thermal energy is not light. It is heat! Energy of heat and temperature of matter (more heat=more thermal energy=more movement of molecules) Temperature measures movement of molecules
Which term can be used to explain why a gold plate would heat up faster than a glass plate?
Thermal conductivity can explain why a gold plate would heat up faster than a glass plate. Gold has higher thermal conductivity than glass, meaning it can transfer heat more efficiently. As a result, the gold plate will absorb and distribute heat more quickly, causing it to heat up faster.
The more molecules an object contains the more heat energy it has?
Yes, this is correct. The heat energy of an object is related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. More molecules in an object means more kinetic energy overall, leading to a higher heat energy.
What has more energy?
Sun has more energy. It is the source of heat and light.
Where does geothemal come from?
Geothermal energy comes from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is produced by the natural radioactive decay of minerals deep within the Earth. Geothermal sources are typically found in areas where this heat can more easily reach the surface, such as near tectonic plate boundaries.
How can you make a building with plate glass walls more energy efficient?
Consider installing light colored shades or fabric to reflect heat rays during the summer.
What would have more heat energy a small pan at 80 degrees or a small pan at 50 degrees?
The small pan at 80 degrees would have more heat energy because heat energy is directly proportional to temperature - the higher the temperature, the more heat energy it contains.
Why does a mountain have more energy than a hot tub?
A mountain has more potential energy due to its mass and height, which can be released as kinetic energy through processes like erosion, landslides, or volcanic activity. A hot tub has thermal energy from the heated water, which is a smaller and more localized form of energy compared to the vast potential energy stored in a mountain.
Does solar power need heat?
yes solar energy needs heat as it is the directly receving energy from the sun and it is the energy which provides more heat
