AP Physics 2 Thermodynamics questions with verified
|| || || || || || ||
detailed answers ||
Internal Energy - ✔✔Energy contained within the system: ΔU=Q-W, excluding kinetic
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
energy of motion and potential energy of the system as a whole.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Entropy - ✔✔The measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
unavailable for doing useful work. (measure of disorder and randomness)
|| || || || || || || || ||
Plasma - ✔✔Low density, high temperature, completely ionized gas consists of free atomic
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
nuclei and free electrons (electrically neutral).
|| || || || ||
Latent Heat (Transformation, Fusion, Vaporization) - ✔✔Energy absorbed or released by a
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
substance during a change in its physical state (phase) that occurs without changing its
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
temperature.
Conduction - ✔✔Heat transferred from high regions to regions of low temperature.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Convection - ✔✔Heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid is caused to move away from the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
source of heat carrying energy with it. (air and water)
|| || || || || || || || ||
Radiation - ✔✔Emission and propagation of energy in the form of rays or waves. A stream
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
of particles or electromagnetic waves that is emitted by the atoms and molecules of a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
radioactive substance as a result of nuclear decay. || || || || || || ||
Thermodynamics - ✔✔The branch of physics that is built upon the fundamental laws that || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
heat and work obey.
