Relevant Dot Points from the Study Design

edit
  • investigate and apply theoretically and practically the First Law of Thermodynamics to simple situations: Q = U + W
  • explain internal energy as the energy associated with random disordered motion of molecules
  • distinguish between conduction, convection and radiation with reference to heat transfers within and between systems
  • investigate and analyse theoretically and practically the energy required to
    • raise the temperature of a substance: Q = mcΔT
    • change the state of a substance: Q = mL
  • explain why cooling results from evaporation using a simple kinetic energy model
