What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through cycles or currents in fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

How does friction affect the speed of an object?

Back

More friction decreases the speed of an object.

Front

What process transfers heat through ocean and wind currents?

Back

Convection transfers heat through ocean and wind currents.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

Heat transferred through water touching cold ice is an example of conduction.

Front

What happens to an object in motion with more mass?

Back

An object in motion with more mass is harder to stop.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

More mass means more inertia, making it harder to change the motion of an object.

Front

What is the definition of heat?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

The sun's rays warming your skin is an example of radiation.
