Energy 2D Guide Extra Credit

Energy 2D Guide (20 Points)  Follow the link https://energy.concord.org/energy2d/ and click on Windows Installer to install the simulation app.  Please run the following simulations (use the “Examples” tab and click “run”). Feel free to explore additional settings such as inserting more features or displaying a graph. o Conduction > Comparing thermal conductivities o Conduction > Comparing temperature differences o Conduction > Comparing specific heats o Convection > Natural convection o Convection > Comparing natural convection and conduction o Radiation > Angular dependence  Use the question: Does the angle of objects close to a radiation source affect the amount of radiation they receive? o Earth Science > Sun – Earth radiation  Use the question: Why do tropical zones at the equator tend to be the hottest? o Earth Science > Mantle convection  Use the question: How does convection inside the Earth explain the movement of tectonic plates?  Run 2 additional simulations of your choice for a total of 10 simulations. Simulation Question Answer Evidence Name of the simulation Full question/s from simulation or given above Answer to the question What you observed that led you to the answer Comparing thermal conductivities In which material did energy flow faster through? metal The temp rose faster from flowing through the metal Comparing temperature differences Does heat flow faster through a hotter source Yes The hotter source is significantly hotter at the end of the experiment Comparing specific heats Through which material does heat flow faster from a heat source to an object, a material with a high heat capacity or a material with a low heat capacity? Low Specific Heat The energy flowed a lot better and the temp rose Natural Convection Which thermometer higher temp? Which anemometer measures higher speed? A1 and A1 The energy moved around faster on the top and once again the heat rose faster as well Comparing natural convection and conduction Can you tell the difference between heat transfer through air and solid? Yes The air flowed and moved freely in the air than through the solid
