Scatter: Everyday Physics

Conduction
heat is transferred directly through a material with no bulk movement of material
Total momentum before collision
equals total momentum after collision
Archimedes' principle
The magnitude of a buoyant force on a completely or partially submerged object always equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Boltzmann's constant k
1.38 × 10-23 J/K
Radiation
the heat transfer by electromagnetic waves – thermal light waves
Heat capacity (specific heat)
the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of one g of a substance by 1 degree C.
measure of density
kg/m^3
Emissive
the efficiency with which an object emits thermal radiation. Is a number between 0 and 1. A good emitter has an e close to 1.
