SAT Physics Thermal Properties - Heat And Heat Transfer

Image
SAT Physics Thermal Properties - Heat And Heat Transfer HEAT AND HEAT TRANSFER Heat is often misinterpreted by beginning physics students since the word heat is used incorrectly in everyday life. When students touch a warm object, they think it contains a large quantity of heat energy. This is not necessarily correct. The temperature felt by touching a warm object is a result of the thermal energy of the vibrating particles in that object. Try not to confuse the word heat with the word hot. Hot refers to the temperature of an object alone. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in that object. Heat refers not only to temperature but also to the number of particles (mass) that are involved. Consider a hot cup of coffee and the ocean. The coffee is hotter in temperature. However, the ocean contains more heat since it contains significantly more particles than the coffee. Then what is heat? Heat is similar to work. Work is a mechanical change in ener

SAT Chemistry The Laboratory - Laboratory Safety Rules

Image
SAT Chemistry The Laboratory -   Laboratory Safety Rules The Ten Commandments of Lab Safety The following is a summary of rules you should be well aware of in your own chemistry lab. Dress appropriately for the lab. Wear safety goggles and a lab apron or coat. Tie back long hair. Do not wear open-toed shoes. Know what safety equipment is available and howto use it. This includes the eyewash fountain, fire blanket, fire extinguisher, and emergency shower. Know the dangers of the chemicals in use, and read labels carefully. Do not taste or sniff chemicals. Dispose of chemicals according to instructions. Use designated disposal sites, and follow the rules. Never return unneeded chemicals to the original containers. Always add acids and bases to water slowly to avoid splattering. This is especially important when using strong acids and bases that can generate significant heat, form steam, and splash out of the container. Never point heating test tubes at yourself or others.

SAT Physics Electric Potential - Potential Of Uniform Fields

Image
SAT Physics Electric Potential - Potential Of Uniform Fields POTENTIAL OF UNIFORM FIELDS Uniform electric fields are a property of equal and oppositely charged parallel plates. Since the electric field between these plates is uniform, the electric potential is evenly distributed in the space between the plates. Figure 11.1 shows how the electric potential associated with a set of 6-volt plates is commonly visualized. Figure 11.1. Electric potential for uniform fields Since the negative plate is low potential, it is often set as the zero point to simplify problems. By definition, the positive plate is considered to be the high potential plate. In this figure, it is set as 6 volts. By definition, the negative plate is the low potential plate. Here it is set as 0 volts. Electric potential is similar to height h in a mechanics problem, where the surface of Earth is the zero point and each meter of height is equally spaced and parallel to Earth. The magnitude of the electric po
