Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Heat Transfer Problem With Entropy

Use an exciting role play activity to teach young chemists about the importance of heat transfer in maintaining homeostasis. They assume the role of a dog sled owner who has been abandoned and must fend for themselves with only a...

Convection, conduction, and radiation are the three methods of heat transfer. Introduce them to your physical science students by showing this video. The emcee shows where each of these play a role in his kitchen and explains a bit about...

Determine the rate at which heat moves through a barrier that is separating gases at two different temperatures.

Students must find the distance that Joey will travel as a projectile based on the kinetic energy that he possesses.

Students must predict the KE added to the system when a Kuiper Belt Object is hit with an explosive charge. Students must first look at the momentum of each piece after the explosion to determine the original speed of the Kuiper Belt...

Raise the temperature in your class with this hot film! Cartoon teens discuss thermal energy, the conservation and transfer of energy, three methods of heat transfer, conductors, and insulators. The publisher effectively packed every...

Read a heating curve to determine what an object's boiling point is as well as its specific heat.

Determine the heat that has been added to a gas in a process where the volume does not change. A video describing the problem can be found here: https://youtu.be/7jbuZlStfjo

Determine the heat that has been added to a gas in an isobaric process.

Students must determine the horizontal speed of a projectile based on the distance that it travels and other given information. Students must find the time of flight and put it in milliseconds. Finally, students must find the final...
