TOPIC: Heat Energy, Concept of Heat and Temperature and Effects of Heat
CONTENT
 Concept of Heat
 Temperature
 Effect of Heat on bodies.

Concept of Heat
Heat is a concept of physics that deals with the study of relative motion of fluid (liquid and gas) from one body to another. It is a form of energy that can be transferred from one body due to temperature differences.

Temperature
Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of a body or an object. It is a scalar quantity, measured in Kelvin. Heat and Temperature are similar but not the same
https://youtu.be/LL54E5CzQ-A

Differences Between Heat and Temperature
1. Heat is a measure of the total internal energy of a body while temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of the body.
2. Heat takes place due to temperature difference while temperature occurs due to slight change of substance.
3. Heat is measured in joules while temperature is measured in Kelvin / Celsius.

Effect of Heat
When heat is applied to a body the following effect may occur
1. Expansion: when heat is applied, volumes increases while density decreases.
2. Change in temperature: When heat is added on a body, the temperature increases
3. Change of state : melting, freezing, condensation, evaporation etc.
4. Thermion emission : Addition of heat on metal may result in the emission of electron from the surface of the metal

TOPIC: RECTILINEAR ACCELERATION:
CONTENT:
Concept of acceleration - Uniform/non-uniform acceleration, deceleration
Worked examples on acceleration and deceleration.

CONCEPT OF ACCELERATION
When an object increases or changes its velocity within a set time, the object is said to undergo acceleration (or to accelerate). We therefore define acceleration as the rate of change of velocity with time.

i.e, acceleration=(change in velocity)/(time taken)

∴ a=(v-u)/t

Where
a: acceleration
v: final velocity
u: initial velocity

Acceleration is a vector quantity and its SI unit is m/s2.
However, still be reminded that:
When a body starts from rest, its initial velocity, ‘u’ is zero.
When a body comes to rest, its final velocity, ‘v’ is zero.

https://youtu.be/Sz-1Hg8_l-0

UNIFORM AND NON-UNIFORM ACCELERATION
Acceleration is said to be uniform if the velocity increases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time. That is, the rate of change of velocity with time is constant. If the rate of change of velocity with time is not constant, then, the acceleration is non-uniform.
https://youtu.be/Ravz8_jz15w

DECELERATION
Deceleration is defined as a negative change in velocity with time. When such happens, the body is said to be coming to rest.
Deceleration is said to be uniform if the velocity decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time. That is, the negative change in velocity with time is constant.

Also, deceleration = (change in velocity)/(time taken) = (v-u)/t

Deceleration is also called retardation and its SI unit is m/s2. It is also a vector quantity.
https://youtu.be/0EdTeT7HHZ8

Evaluation:
1. Define acceleration.
2. Differentiate between acceleration and deceleration.
3. Quote the formula for acceleration and its SI unit.


WORKED EXAMPLES ON ACCELERATION & DECELERATION
Ex 1: A body experienced a change in velocity of 10m/s in 15s. What is the acceleration of the body?
Solution:
Data: ∆v=10m/s ,t=15s,a=?

Now,a = ∆v/∆t=10/15

∴ a = 0.67m/s2

Image

Ex 2: A car accelerated uniformly at 6m/s^2 in 20s. What was the change in velocity?
Solution:

Data: a = 6m/s2 , t = 20s, ∆v = ?

Now, a = ∆v/∆t

∴ ∆v = a×∆t
∴ ∆v = 6×20
∴ ∆v = 120m/s

Image

Ex 3: The velocity of a lorry decreased from 60km/h to 35km/h within 0.5mins. Find the deceleration.
Solution:

Data: u=60km/h=(60×1000)/(60×60) = 60,000/3600 = 16.67m/s ,
v = 35km/h = 9.72m/s, t = 0.5mins = 30s, d = ?

Now, d = ∆v/∆t = (v-u)/t = (9.72-16.67)/30 =-6.95/30

∴ d=-0.23m/s2
The negative sign shows that it is decelerating thus coming to rest.

TOPIC: RECTILINEAR ACCELERATION (CONT):
Velocity-time graphs.
Worked Examples on v-t graphs
Analysis of rectilinear motion.


VELOCITY-TIME (v-t) GRAPH.
When the velocity of a body moving uniformly is plotted against the time, a straight line is obtained and the slope gives the acceleration or deceleration depending on the ascending or descending nature of the graph. This is shown below.

Image

The slope of line OA gives the acceleration. ∴a=∆v/∆t It is a positive value because the graph ascends from left to right.

Image

The slope of line BC gives the deceleration. ∴ d =-∆v/∆t It is a negative value because the graph descends from left to right.

Supposing a body accelerates from rest until it attains a final velocity v in time t1 and then brought to rest in time t2, the v-t graph is shown below.
Image

(i) Slope of line OA gives acceleration.
(ii) Slope of line AB gives deceleration.
(iii) Area of ∆OAC gives the distance travelled during the acceleration.
(iv) Area of ∆ABC gives the distance travelled during the deceleration.
(v) Area of the whole shape, ∆OAB gives the total distance travelled. You can equally add up the distances in (iii) and (iv) above to give the total distance travelled.

Supposing another body now accelerates uniformly from rest until it reaches a final velocity V in time, t1 and continues with uniform

speed at this velocity in time, t2 then brought to rest in a further time , t3, the v-t graph is shown below:

Image

(i) Slope of line OA gives the acceleration.
(ii) Slope of line BC gives the retardation.
(iii) Area of ∆OAE gives the distance covered during the acceleration.
(iv) Area of rectangle ABDE gives the distance travelled during the uniform speed.
(v) Area of ∆BCD gives the distance travelled during the deceleration.
(iv) Area of the whole shape (trapezium OABC) gives the total distance travelled during the entire journey.
You can also add up the distances in (iii), (iv) & (v) to get the total distance travelled during the entire journey.

(iii) How would you find the total distance travelled?
(iv) Did the body accelerate?
(v) The slope of line AB will give ---
(vi) Did the body start from rest?
(vii) Briefly discuss the motion of the body.


WORKED EXAMPLES ON V-T GRAPH

1. A body starts from rest and accelerates at 2m/s2 until it gets to a final velocity in 20s. It is then brought to rest in another 10s. With the aid of a v-t graph, find the final velocity attained and the total distance travelled.
Solution:
Image

i) Slope of line OA = acceleration

∴ a = ∆y/∆x = (A-C)/(C-O) = (V-0)/(20-0)

∴ a = V/20

∴ V = 2×20

Hence, V=40m/s
Image

ii) Total distance travelled is the area of the whole shape =area of ∆OAB=½bh = ½(OB)(AC)
Note that VO = AC

∴Total distance covered=½ (30)(40)=(30×40)/2

Hence, total distance travelled= 1200/2 = 600m
https://youtu.be/YCVSQp428GI

2. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at xm/s^2 until it reaches a final velocity of 60m/s in 23s. It is then brought to rest for further 15s.
  1. Sketch the v-t graph.
  2. Find the value of x
  3. Find the distance travelled during the acceleration and the deceleration.
  4. Find the total distance travelled.

Solution:
i) Image

ii) Acceleration=slope of line OP=∆y/∆x

∴x=(P-R)/(R-O)=(60-0)/(23-0)

∴x=60/23

∴x=2.6m/s2

Hence, the acceleration of that car is 2.6m/s2

iii) Distance travelled during the acceleration is the area of ∆OPR=½bh= ½(OR)(PR)

Note that PR=60

∴Distance travelled=½(23)(60)=(23×60)/2 = 690m

Hence, the distance covered during the acceleration=690m

For the distance covered during the deceleration, it is area of ∆PQR = ½bh= ½(QR)(PR)

Note that PR=60

∴Distance travelled during the deceleration=½(15)(60)=(15×60)/2 = 450m

Hence, the distance covered during the deceleration=450m

iii) Total distance travelled = 690m + 450m = 1,140m

Alternatively, total distance travelled is the area of the whole shape =area of ∆OPQ = ½(OQ)(PR)

Note that PR=60

Total distance travelled = ½(38)(60)=(38×60)/2=1,140m
https://youtu.be/ON4m9_BvTKg

Evaluation
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 8m/s^2 until it attains a maximum velocity of 80m/s in 10s. It continues with this speed for further 100s until it is brought to rest for another 25s. Using a v-t graph, find the total distance travelled.



ANALYSIS OF RECTILINEAR MOTION.
Supposing a body moving at an initial velocity 'u' later attains a final velocity 'v' in time t,
Its acceleration is given as:

a=(change in velocity)/(time taken)

∴a=(v-u)/t-----(1)

By making v subject of the formula,

We have v=u+at-----(2)

Recall that speed = distance/time

∴v=s/t

∴s=vt
Image

Since the body above experienced two velocities, u & v, thus, the average velocity is (v+u)/2

Hence, s=(v+u)t/2-----(3)

Putting (2) into (3), we have

s=(u+at+u)t/2=(2ut+at2)/2=2ut/2+(at2)/2

Hence, s=ut+½ (at2 )-----(4)

From (1),

t=(v-u)/a-----(5)

Putting (5) into (3), we have

s=(v+u)/2×(v-u)/a=(v+u)(v-u)/2a

But (v+u)(v-u) is a different of two squares, implying that (v+u)(v-u)=v2-u2

Hence, s=(v2-u2)/2a

Making v2 subject of the formula, we have

v2=u2+2as------(6)

Image

Thus, in summary, the equations of motion include:
v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2=u2+2as

Under gravity, for a body descending, g is +ve. Therefore, the above equations become:
v = u+gt

s=ut+½ gt2

v2=u2+2gs

Under gravity, for a body ascending, g is-ve. Therefore, the above equations become:
v=u-gt

s=ut-½ gt2

v2=u2-2gs

WORKED EXAMPLES

Speed
Time
Density
Mass
Distance, etc.

TOPIC: WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
CONTENT:
1. Concept of work, energy and power
2. Interchangeability of work and energy
3. Determination of work, energy and power

Definition of work, energy and power.
Work done in Physics is simply defined as the product of force and distance in the direction of the force. If work done is w, distance covered is s and force is f, then mathematically,
Work done = force x distance
W = f x s
the S.I unit of work done is Joules ( J ). Since unit of force ‘f’ is Newton (N), unit of distance ‘s’ is metre, the unit of work done is also Newton-Metre (Nm). Other units are kilojoules and mega joules. Note: If no distance is covered, work done is zero. Work done is a scalar quantity.
Energy is the ability or capacity to do work. Its unit is Joules
Power can be defined in a number of ways 1. Power is the time rate at which work is done. 2. Power is energy expended with time. 3. Power is work done in a given time interval. Its unit is watt. Larger units are horse power (hp), kilowatt (kw) and megawatt (mw).
Mathematically.

Power (P) = (work done (w)or energy expended )/(time taken (t)

= w/t

= (f X s)/t

= f x v
Where f is force and v is velocity which is distance / time i.e s / t.

Image

That means power can also be defined as the product of force and velocity. The instrument for measuring power is watt-metre.
https://youtu.be/zVRH9d5PW8g

https://youtu.be/zaceSCDATjg

Interchangeability of work and energy
Energy and work can be used interchangeably because they are almost the same thing. They have the same unit which is Joule. For example, if someone has energy, it means he can do some work and if someone can do some work, it means he has some energy. Thus work and energy cannot be separated.
https://youtu.be/_MR1Dp8-F8w

Evaluation
Define work, energy and power. State the unit of each
Can energy and work be used interchangeably? explain



Determination of work, energy and power
When calculating work done and power, we start by first stating the formula as illustrated in the following examples below.
https://youtu.be/8jC8AzyuiwM

Example 1
A body of weight 300N climbs to the top of a hill of height 20m. What is the work done by the body against the force of gravity?

Solution
Force f = 300N, distance s = 20m
Work done = force x distance
= f x s
= 300 x 20 = 6000J

Example 2.
An object of mass 12kg is held at a height of 10m above the ground for 15 minutes. Calculate the work done within this period.

Solution
Since the body is not falling freely under gravity, acceleration due to gravity is zero. Hence work done is also zero.

Example 3
A bag of rice of mass 50kg was pushed through a distance of 5m for 10seconds. Calculate the work done.(g = 10ms-2)

Solution
m = 50.0kg, g = 10ms-2, s = 5m and t = 10 seconds.
Work done = force x distance
= f x s
= mg x s. Since f = mg
= 50 x 10 x 5
= 2500J
Notice that we did not use the value 10 because it is irrelevant since the definition of work done does not involve time.

Example 4
Calculate the power of a pump which lifts 1000kg of water through a vertical height of 2m in 10 seconds. ( g = 10ms-2)

Solution
Mass (m) = 1000kg, distance (s) = 2m, time (t) = 10s

Power = Work done/ Time taken

= force x distance/Time

= m x g x s/ T

= 1000 x 10 x 2/10

= 2000W
Image

Example 5
An engine develops a power of 750W while moving a car at constant velocity of 3ms-s. Calculate the force exerted on the car by the engine.
Solution
Power = 750W, velocity = 3m/s, f = ?
Power = force x velocity

Force = power/Velocity

= 750 / 3 = 250N

https://youtu.be/t9gRaBOQMGU

Evaluation
Differentiate between work done and power
What other unit is used in measuring work done?
A girl applied a force of 20N on an object for 5s. if the object remains stationary, calculate the work done
A boy lifted up a bag of yam of weight 5N through a height of 2m in 10s. Calculate his power.

CONTENT
 Conduction
 Convection
 Radiation
 Thermo Flask
Heat can be transferred by conduction, convection or radiation

CONDUCTION
This is the process of transfer of heat through a material by vibration of the molecules fixed in position. N.B. Metals that allow heat to pass through them are said to be good conductors of heat. Though all metals are classified as good conductors, they differ in an ability to conduct heat. Non metal (wood / plastic) are bad conductors that does not allow heat to pass through it. Thermal conductivity is simply the ability of a metal to conduct heat.
Image

PRACTICAL CONDUCTION OF HEAT
1. Kettle, pans and other utensils made of metals are provided with wooden or ebonite utensils so that heat from to utensils is not conducted
2. house old source pans are made of metals because metals are good conductors of heat and electricity
3. Thick brick walls are used in the construction of storage rooms. Bricks are bad conductors of heat, so it will not allow heat to enter the storage room.
4. A stone floor feels cold to the feet than a rug or a carpet on the same floor feels warm

Image

CONVECTION
Convection is the process by which heat energy is transferred in a fluid (liquid or gas) by actual movement of the heated fluid. The direction of the motion of a filter paper indicates the circulation of heated water. Circulation of a liquid is called CONVECTION CURRENT.
Image

RADIATION
Radiation is the process by which heat is transferred or conveyed from one place / point to another without heating the interview medium. In radiation molecules are not involved, it differs from another method because it does not require a medium for heat to be transferred. Heat from the sun reaches us by this method. The energy given out as radiant heat is known as RADIANT ENERGY. This energy displace electrical and magnetic properties and it said to be electromagnetic radiation and the name is INFARED.
Image

RADIATION CAN BE DETECTED BY
1. Radiometer
2. Thermo pile
3. Leslie cube
Dark surface are good absorber of heat and poor he meter of radiation. Highly polished surface are good he meter of radiation and poor he meter of heat.

APPLICATION OF RADIATION
1. It is not advisable to wear a dark shirt in the tropical sun
2. Roofs of factories are coated with aluminium paint.
3. Shinning roofs and outside walls are painted with light colour in hot climate to keep the house cool.
Cooking utensils are darkening at the bottom and polished in the upper surface. The blacking surface will allow the heat while the silver surface won’t allow the heat to go out.

Work done in a force field
Every object on the earth’s surface is under the influence of the force of gravity. This force pulls the object towards its centre. The earth’s gravitational field is an example of force field. If a body is to be lifted vertically upwards, work has to be done against this force of gravity. The work done is given as
Work done = force x distance
= m x g x h
Where m = mass of the body in kilogram, g = acceleration due to gravity and h is height in metres. If on the other hand, the body falls freely from a vertical height h to the ground, the work done is also mgh.
https://youtu.be/viOoooQNP6I

Example 1
A stone of mass 10kg falls from a height of 2.0m. Calculate the work done. (take g = 10ms2)
Solution
Mass (m) = 10kg, height (h) = 2.0m
Work done = mgh
= 10 x 10 x 2 = 200J



Types of energy

1. Mechanical energy
2. Chemical energy

Mechanical energy
Kinetic energy and potential energy constitutes mechanical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses as a result of its motion. Potential energy on the other hand, is the energy possessed by a body because of its position. A body can also possess potential energy as a result of its nature. For example, an elastic material when stretched stores up energy (potential energy) which is given as ½ k e2 where k is what we call the elastic constant and e is extension in metres. Another form of potential energy is chemical potential energy which is energy stored up in a substance because of its chemical composition. Examples are; energy in the food we eat, electrolytes in cells or batteries.
Mathematically, Kinetic energy K. E = ½( mv2). m is mass in kilogram, v is velocity in m/s.
If a body is raised to a height h, its potential energy is given as
P.E = mgh. Where m is mass in kilogram, h is height in metres and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Example 2
A body of mass 100kg is released from a height of 200m. With what energy does the body strike the ground? (g = 10 m/s2)
Solution
Gravitational potential energy is given as P.E = mgh = 100 x 10 x 200 = 200,000J

Example 3
A stone of mass 50.0kg is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. calculate the kinetic energy
Solution
mass = 50.0kg, velocity = 20 m/s
K. E = ½ mv2 = ½ x 50.0 x 20.0 = 500J

https://youtu.be/jhKejoBqiYc

Evaluation
1. Differentiate between potential energy and kinetic energy
2. What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy and potential energy


Law of conservation of energy
https://youtu.be/Vx0yAS2u8gI
Energy as we have treated earlier exists in various forms. Although energy can be converted from one form to the other, the total energy remains conserved. This is the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to the other. This law can be illustrated by mechanical systems as shown in the figures below.
Image

Fig. 1 illustrates the energy transformation that takes place in a simple pendulum. Point B is the mean position or rest position while points A and C are the extreme points of oscillation of the pendulum. At point (A), the velocity of the bob reduces to zero and the height (h) of the bob from the horizontal ground is maximum. Hence Kinetic Energy (K.E) of the bob is zero and potential energy is maximum. The same thing applies to point (C). At point (B), the speed or velocity of the bob as it moves from (A) to (B) is maximum, while the height (h) of the bob reduces to zero. Therefore at this point, the potential energy is zero and the kinetic energy is maximum. As the bob moves from point (B) to points (A) and (c), its velocity and kinetic energy reduces and the kinetic energy is totally converted to potential energy at the two extreme points. As the bob moves from the two extreme points (A) and (C) to (B), the velocity increases and is maximum at point (B) and the potential energy is totally converted to kinetic energy.
In fig. 2, as the body moves from the horizontal ground C to A, its velocity reduces and at point A, at height h, where the body is stationary, the velocity v is zero. Consequently its kinetic energy is zero but the potential energy is maximum. As the body drops to the ground, its velocity increases and the vertical height h reduces to zero. Therefore, potential energy just before it touches the ground is zero and the body has maximum kinetic energy. At point B, the body possesses both Kinetic energy and potential energy. From the two illustrations we see that although the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy and vice versa, the total energy of the system is conserved or remains unchanged.

Concept of heat and temperaturee
Heat is a form of energy that moves from one point to the other due to temperature difference. When you dip one end of an iron rod into fire and hold the other end with your hand, this other end soon becomes hot because energy has flowed from the point dipped into the fire to this other end. This energy flow is what is known as heat. Temperature is a measure of how cold or hot a body is.

Differences between heat and temperature
Heat ----------------------------------------------Temperature
It is a form of energy ---- It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body
It is measured in joules ---- It is measured in Kelvin
it is not determined directly by an instrument ----it is directly determined by a thermometer
it is a derived quantity ---- It is a fundamental quantity

The kinetic theory of matter
The kinetic theory of matter states that
1. Matter is made up of atoms and molecules
2. The molecules are in a state of constant random motion
3. They possess kinetic energy because of their motion
4. The kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the temperature of the body.

Evaluation.
1. Define temperature and state its unit
2. State three assumptions of the kinetic theory of matter


Effects of heat on substances ( expansion, vaporization)
When heat is applied to a substance, it can lead to the following changes
1. Chemical changes
2. Temperature changes
3. Expansion/contraction
4. Change of state (melting, vaporization, sublimation)
5. Change in pressure
6. Thermionic emission

Thermal expansion
Most solid substances expand when heated. The rate of expansion varies from solid to solid. Expansion is more pronounced in gases followed by liquids and least in solids. A substance whether solid, liquid or gaseous consists of molecules. When the substance is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster and hence the molecules take up more space in the substance. This leads to expansion.

Ball and ring experiment
An experiment can be carried out to demonstrate expansion of a solid.
Apparatus: Bunsen burner, ball and ring apparatus

Image

Procedure: Allow the metal ball to pass through the ring. Heat the metal ball for some time in the Bunsen burner and make it pass through the same ring. The metal ball will no longer pass through the same ring it passed through earlier as a result of expansion. When allowed to cool down for some time and allowed to pass through the ring once more, it will pass through because it has contracted and regained its original size.
Using kinetic theory to explain temperature of a body
https://youtu.be/GgrnhHMqZDY

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the temperature. This means that as the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, the temperature also increases. When a body is subjected to heat, the velocities of the molecules increases and hence they gain more kinetic energy this of course will lead to increase in the temperature of the body. On the other hand, if we reduce or lower the heat, the velocities of the molecules will decrease leading to a decrease in the kinetic energy of the molecules. Hence the temperature falls or reduces.

EXPANSION IN LIQUIDS:
Expansion in liquid is complicated by the expansion of the container because while the liquid expands the container equally expands. So it is important to differentiate between real and apparent cubic expansivity.

REAL OR ABSOLUTE CUBIC EXPANSIVITY (γr): It is defined as the increase in volume per unit volume per degree rise in temperature.

APPARENT CUBIC EXPANSIVITY (γa): It is defined as the increase in volume per unit volume per degree rise in temperature when the liquid is heated in an expansible vessel.

Applications of Expansion

(A) ADVANTAGES OF EXPANSION:
1. The use of the bimetallic strip in:
a. Fire alarm
b. Bi-metallic thermometer
c. Electric pressing iron

2. Red hot rivet used in ship
3. Removal of tight glass stopper
4. Fitting of wheels in rims
https://youtu.be/6pScZaNz7nY

Bi-metallic strip:
It consists of two different metals joined together. They expand at different rates when heated e.g brass and iron.
Image

a. ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM:
Image
When a fire breaks out in a building, the resulting heat causes the bi-metallic strip to bend towards the contact, thus completing the circuit. This causes the bell to ring out a fire alarm.

b. BI-METALLIC THERMOMETER
Image
It consists of a coiled bi-metallic strip which expands outwards when heated. As this
happens, the pointer moves along the scale and the reading on the scale is taken as the
temperature.

c. ELECTRIC PRESSING IRON:
It has a device known as Thermostat, it is made of bi-metallic strip and it is used to regulate
the temperature of the pressing iron, Gas cooker, Refrigerator.
Image

https://youtu.be/2T4TV4xOZWg

MODE OF OPERATION OF PRESSING IRON
When the current is switched on, current flows through the circuit and the bi-metallic strip
expands and bends away from the contact point thereby switching off the flow of current.
The pressing iron cools down and contact is re-made and current flows again and the process
continues. This make-and-break device regulates the temperature of a pressing iron.

2. RED-HOT RIVET USED IN SHIP:
Steel plates and girders which are used in ship building and other constructional works are usually riveted together.

3. FITTING OF WHEELS IN RIMS:
The large driving wheels of locomotive are fixed with steel tyre which are renewed from time to time as they wear out. In order to ensure a tight fitting, the tyre is made slightly smaller in diameter than the wheel. The tyre contracts on cooling thus ensuring tight fitting.

4. REMOVAL OF TIGHT GLASS STOPPER:
A tight glass stopper can be removed by standing the bottle in hot water. The glass bottle expands and the stopper becomes loose.

(B) DISADVANTAGES OF EXPANSION:
1. Expansion of metal on steel bridges/galvanized iron sheets: Cracking sounds are heard when galvanized iron sheets used in the roof of buildings are being heated. This is due to the expansion of sheet when heated. Bridges made of steel equally expand during hot weather.
2. Cracking of glass cup when hot water is poured into it: When hot water is poured into the glass tumbler, it often cracks due to uneven expansion of the interior walls and exterior walls of the glass cup.
3. Expansion of balance wheel of a wrist watch. This makes the watch to give wrong reading
4. Sagging of overhead wires: Telegraph wires when laid in hot weather are allowed to sag so that in cold weather they can contract without snapping.
5. Expansion of railway lines: Gaps are left between rails in railway lines to allow for free expansion and contraction of rails, without the gaps, there would be buckling of rails.

CONTENT: 1. Meaning, molecular explanation of conduction and applications of conductors
2. Meaning, molecular explanation. and application of convection
3. Radiation, Emission and radiation by different surfaces, The Thermos flask.

Meaning, molecular explanation of conduction and applications of conductors
Conduction of heat is the process by which heat is passed along a material from molecule to molecule, the heated particles remaining in position. Most metals are good conductors but their thermal conductivities differ from metal to metal. Experiment performed to compare the conductivity of solid showed the copper is a better conductor than brass, followed by iron, lead.

Kinetic molecular theory explanation of conduction
Image

Heat is passed along the molecules of the material fixed in position, from molecule A to molecule B by mutual vibration and energy is transferred along until it gets to molecule Z.

Conduction in liquids:
Liquids are poor conductors of heat except mercury and other molten metals. Experiment demonstrated below shows that water is a poor conductor of heat.
Experiment to show that water is a poor conductor of heat.
Image
Image


Aim: To show that water is a bad conductor of heat.
Apparatus: water, test tube, ice-block, Bunsen burner and wire guaze.
Method: i. Wrap the ice block with wire guaze to prevent the ice from floating in water, and drop in the water in the test tube.
ii. Heat the water near the top of the water with the Bunsen burner.
Observation: It is observed that while the water was boiling on top, the ice at the bottom did not melt
Conclusion: The ice did not melt because water is poor conductor of heat and was not able to conduct the heat to the ice.
https://youtu.be/L3zN0wYWJgQ

Applications of conductors and insulators
1. Cooking utensils: Bad conductors of heat are used as handles while the cooking pots are made of metals which are good conductors of heat.
2. Lagging: Insulators are often used as lagging materials in hot water pipes, stem boilers, hot water storage tanks and ovens to prevent them from freezing or getting colder.
3. Warmth: Woollen sweaters keep us warm during winter or cold weather to prevent conduction of heat from the body.
4. Double walls: Houses built with double walls with space in between them have air trapped in the spaces that act as insulators, thus, keeping the house warm.
https://youtu.be/jeDFc42YZc4

EVALUATION:
I. What is conduction?
2. Use the molecular theory to explain conduction.
3. Explain three applications of conductors and insulators.


Meaning, molecular explanation. and application of convection
Convection is the process by which heat is transferred in a liquid or gas by the actual movement of the heated fluid from the hotter to the colder parts. Liquids and gases are poor conductors of heat but transfer heat by convection.

Molecular explanation of convection
When a liquid is heated the molecules expand, become less dense and rises. The denser molecules above take their places. Heat is therefore transferred by the moving molecules. This action continues and sets up a flow of water molecules called convection current.
Image

https://youtu.be/HpCvWuvCUoA

Applications of convection
1. Land and sea breeze: This is convection current in nature. It happens in coastal area.
i. Sea breeze: In a hot day the sun warms the air near the land quickly than the sea because the earth has a lower specific heat capacity than the sea. This warm air rises. Cooler air from the sea moves to replace the risen air. This cool breeze from the sea is known as sea breeze.
Image
Image
ii. Land breeze: at night, the air above the sea is hotter. There is a conventional flow of hot air from the sea to the land and they are replaced by cool air from the land. The flow of cool air from the land to the sea is called the land breeze.

1. Ventilation: Air heated by respiration and fires rises towards the ventilators placed near the ceiling. This is replaced by fresh air from windows and other openings.

2. Cooling of motor car engine: Car engines require cooling to prevent overheating. The heat generated by the engine is conducted by the metal to the water in the jacket. The water is cooled by the air circulating round the radiator as the vehicle moved and by the cool air from the fan
3. The Domestic hot water system: Water is heated in the boiler by conduction through the metal. Hot water rises by convection to the cylinder, cold water flows in to take its place.
Image

https://youtu.be/0CxkdJeqNfM

https://youtu.be/FTSBtx5jhaY

EVALUATION
Describe an experiment to show Convection current in water.

Radiation, Emission and radiation by different surfaces, The Thermos flask.

Radiation is the process by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler place without heating of the intervening medium. Radiation is a mode of heat transfer that do not required a material medium for it transfer. Radiation can be detected by a radiometer and a thermopile. A thermopile detects and measures radiant energy.
A black surface is a better radiator and absorber of heat than a polished surface. This is why it is not advisable to wear a black cloth on a sunny day because one feels hot.
Polished surface, white surface and silvered surface are good reflectors of heat.
Image

This device is used to prevent loss of heat energy from its content
The three modes of heat transfer are prevented in the thermos flask in the following ways:
1.The vacuum between the double walled glass prevents loss of heat by conduction or convection.
2. The silver colour of the inside of the double walls prevents heat loss by radiation
3. The cork support, or plastic prevents heat loss by conduction.
4. The cork stopper prevents heat loss by conduction, evaporation and convection.

2. law of electrostatics
3. Gold leaf electroscope
4. Electrostatic induction
5. Ways of producing charges
6. Distribution of charges
7. Lightning conductor
8. Electrophorus


TYPES OF CHARGES, LAW OF ELECTROSTATICS, GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE
Electrostatics is the study of charges at rest. It is electricity that does not move from one point to another in the substance in which it is produced.
https://youtu.be/VFbyDCG_j18

Types of charges:
Positive charge: A body becomes positively charged if it losses electron. This can be obtained in the Laboratory if glass rod is rubbed with silk and there is a net transfer of surface electrons from glass to the silk. The glass becomes positively charged and the silk becomes negatively charged.
Negative charge: A body is negatively charged if it gains electron. This is obtained by rubbing ebonite rod with fur and there is a transfer of electrons from the atoms of fur to the ebonite rod. The fur becomes positively charged. The positively charged protons deep in the nucleus are not free to be transferred.

Law of electrostatics: Like or similar charges repel each other; unlike or opposite charges attract each other.

Gold leaf Electroscope:
An electroscope is an instrument used for the detection and testing of small electric charges. It consists of a flat brass disc or cap, a brass rod with a gold leaf. The metal case is made draught-proof and connected to the earth to prevent accumulation of charges due to external influence.
Image

An electroscope is a device which can detect electric charges. The casing is earthed so as to screen the leaf from outside interference of influence. The leaf is the sensitive or moving part of the instrument.
Image

Image

Uses of the Gold leaf Electroscope
1. To detect charges: If a charged body is placed on the cap of a charged electroscope an increase in divergence or collapse of the leaf shows the body is charged. If there is no change in the divergence, it means the body is not charged.
Use to test charges weather the charge is positive or negative. The gold leave electroscope to test the sign of the charge of an object. If an unknown charge is brought near to a charged electroscope and the leaf diverges more, the unknown charge is similar to the charge on the electroscope.

2. To determine the nature of charge on the body: If a charged body is placed on a charged electroscope, increase in divergence means the charge on the electroscope and the body are the same. If there is collapse of the leaf, it means they have opposite charge or the body is uncharged.

3. To determine the conducting properties of a body: If a good conductor is placed on the cap of an electroscope, the leaf collapses immediately. If it is a semi conductor, it collapses gradually and if an insulator, there is no alteration of the leaf
It is used to test weather a material is a conductor or an insulator. The material is made to touch the cap. Rapid collapse means that the charges escape easily and hence the material concerned is a good conductor. A slow collapse means that it is a poor conductor. No collapse means that it is an insulator.

Lighting and Lighting Conductor
The atmosphere is known to contain ions or charged particles, which have been produced by radiation from the sun and by what is known as cosmic radiation, which enters the atmosphere from outer space.
Lighting is a sudden discharge or neutralising of electric charges, and it occurs when charges build up in a cloud.
A lighting conductor is used to protect a building from lighting damage.

THEORY
1. Explain the two uses of an electroscope
2. Draw a well label diagram of an electroscope


Ways of producing charges.

1. Electrostatic induction
Electrostatic induction is the act of charging a neutral body by placing a charged body near it without any contact between the two.
Image

STEP 1: A negatively charged body is brought near the uncharged body, free electrons from the metal sphere are repelled by the excess electrons on the rod. They shift towards the right. They can not escape from the sphere because the stand and the surrounding air are insulated.

STEP2: These excess charges called induced charges are released to the earth by touching the right part of the sphere with a wire and the other part of the wire to the earth.

STEP 3: The wire is disconnected.

STEP 4: The negatively charged rod is removed. A net positive charge is left on the rod.

https://youtu.be/8VN8MDn4CFA

2. Friction:
Charges can also be produced by friction. By rubbing as in ebonite and fur, glass rod and silk, charges are transferred from one by either of the two bodies involved. Equal and opposite charges are produced by friction.
https://youtu.be/gwsH8MHBWdc
Effects of charging by friction:
1. Passengers stepping out of cars and buses complain of a slight electric shock as soon as their feet touch the ground. This is because friction between the air and the body of the fast moving car makes the body of the vehicle to be charged.

2. A chain is often left hanging from the rear of a petrol tanker to discharge the charges acquired on the body during movement as this may cause a spark when inflammable vapour is present.

3. Contact:
This is done by bringing a charged body in contact with an uncharged body. Charges are transferred from the charged body to the uncharged body.

CHARGE DISTRIBUTION IN A CONDUCTOR
Charges are usually concentrated at places where the surface is sharply curved. The charge density is highest at the sharpest point of the conductor. For a hollow conductor, charges reside only on its outside surface, no charges reside inside the conductor.
Image
https://youtu.be/UcwBmqd60C4
EVALUATION
1. What is electrostatic induction?
2. Explain the three methods of charging.




Lightning conductor and Electrophorus.
Lightning conductors are used to prevent tall buildings from being damaged when being struck by lightning. It helps to conduct the charges generated harmlessly to the earth. When electrical charges in thunderclouds build up, attraction between unlike charges within a cloud increases steadily until a heavy spark and sound is produced as the charges approach one another. This spark is observed as lightning and the sound is thunder. The heat generated can set a building or tree on fire.
Image

ELECTROPHORUS
Electrophorus is used for storing and transferring electric charges. It consists of a metal disc fitted with an insulating handle and another flat disc made of insulating material such as ebonite.
