Phys. Sci. - Ch. 5 Review

A material that reduces the flow of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation is

• a conductor 
• condensation
• an insulator 
• a solar collector

All of the following are good conductors of heat except

• air
• aluminum
• copper
• silver

The transfer of energy that does NOT require matter is

• combustion
• radiation
• conduction
• convection

Energy from the sun travels to earth as 

• chemical energy
• combustion
• radiant eneygy
• mechanical energy

The inside surface of the glass inside a vacuum bottle is coated with alluminum to prevent heat loss by

• combustion
• radiation
• conduction
• convection

Solar collectors are parts of a(n) 

• active solar heating system 
• external coombustion engine
• radiant heating system
• passive solar heating system 

Refrigerators and air conditioners are examples of 

• heat engines
• heat movers
• heat pumps
• solar collectors

The process by which engine fuels burn is called

• combustion
• condensation
• conduction
• convection

Gasoline engines and diesel engines are

• insulators
• external combustion engines
• internal combustion engines 
• heat movers

A device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy is a 

• conductor 
• refrigerator
• heat engine
• heat mover
