Front

What happens to a hot cup of tea left in a cool room?

Back

The tea cools down as heat moves from the warmer tea to the cooler room until both have the same temperature.

Front

What method of thermal energy transfer occurs when the air inside a house is cooler than the air outside?

Back

Convection.

Front

How do celestial bodies move in our solar system?

Back

All celestial bodies revolve in a counterclockwise direction around the Sun, but at varying speeds.

Front

Which methods of thermal energy transfer can travel through matter?

Back

All of the above (conduction, convection, radiation).

Front

What is responsible for heat transfer when holding an ice cube?

Back

Heat moves from Mia's warmer hand to the cooler ice cube.

Front

Define conduction in the context of thermal energy transfer.

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

Define convection in the context of thermal energy transfer.

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

Define radiation in the context of thermal energy transfer.

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects reach the same temperature and no heat flows between them.

Front

What is the role of temperature difference in heat transfer?

Back

Heat flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature until equilibrium is reached.
