Amplify Thermal Energy Test Review

Front

What happens when a hot and cold sample first come into contact with each other?

Back

Some of the molecules in both samples will have a different kinetic energy.

Front

What will the temperature be once heat transfer is complete if the final temperature is 12 degrees?

Back

12 degrees.

Front

Does a substance with a higher temperature automatically have more thermal energy?

Back

False.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

When will there always be heat transfer between two objects that are touching?

Back

There is a difference in temperature between samples.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, but does not directly indicate total thermal energy.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

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

Front

What is convection?

Back

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

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
