Description
Instructions:
For this assignment, you will create an original 3-5 minute presentation explaining what heat, thermal energy and temperature are. These are closely related topics so you will need to explain how they are similar and how they are different. You will also need to explain the basis for the temperature measurement systems of Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Finally, which countries still utilize the Fahrenheit scales versus the countries that use the Celsius scale? This aspect of the presentation can be done creatively to help make the point. You will also choose the mechanism that you will use for your presentation.
You will need to research the various tools that are available to help you make your choice. This could be something such as a narrated PowerPoint, a narrated Prezi, a YouTube video, or something that is a combination of tools such as Jing, or Screencast.
Your presentation needs to contain accurate visual information, accurate oral information, and be accessible for viewing and listening. The presentation should be engaging and creative. This is to be original work, but based on research. So, you will need to cite your sources in a bibliography at the end of your presentation. If you use a publicly available image as part of your presentation, cite this along with your other research.
You will be assessed on:
Visual information – 10 points
Oral information – 10 points
Successful use of the technology – 10 points
The overall appearance and sound of your presentation – 10 points
References – 10 points
Explanation & Answer
Hello, here is the answer.
Thermal Energy, Temperature
and Heat
Student Name
Institution
Heat
⚫ Heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a
cooler object.
⚫ Another definition can be the conversion of kinetic
energy from one medium or object to another or a
medium or object from an energy source.
⚫ Transfer can be in three ways; radiation, conduction, and
convection.
⚫ Unit of measure of heat is joules (j), in the SI system.
⚫ represented by the symbol Q and the heat formula is
given as;
Where,
M = mass of the body,
C = specific heat,
Δ T = temperature difference.
Convection
⚫ Convection is the movement of molecules within fluids (
a liquid or a gas); the warm fluid rises and cooler fluids
flow in to replace it. This creates a circular flow.
Conduction
⚫Heat conduction or thermal conduction is
the transfer of thermal energy through
matter, from a region of higher
temperature to a region of lower
temperature,...
