Thermal Energy Transfer

You are standing to the left of a heater. The right side of your body is much hotter then the left side. What sort of energy transfer occurred?

• Convection

• Condensation

• conduction

• radiation

A student is drinking a cup of coffee outside on a cold day. They know the cup transfers energy to the surrounding air. The heated air over their coffee expands and rises and is replaced by cooler, denser air.

What is the method of energy transfer?

• convection

• condensation

• conduction

• radiation

A student is researching thermal energy. The student heated a spoon to 150 degrees and placed it in a cup of ice water at 10 degrees.

What will happen to the thermal energy of the water and spoon?

• the water will transfer energy to the spoon until the temperature is equal

• the spoon will transfer energy to the water until they have equal temperature

• the spoon will transfer energy to the water until the spoon gets to its regular temperature

• the water will transfer energy to the spoon until the water gets to its original temperature

A soda bottle at room temperature 25 degrees is placed in the refrigerator with a set temperature of 6 degrees. The thermal energy will move...

• from the cooler air to lower the temperature of water to 6 degrees

• in both directions until the temperature to the bottle and air are equal

• from the water to the air until the water is at 0 degrees

• from the water to the air until the temperature to both is equal

An egg is placed on a hot pan that is sitting on the stove. How will the thermal energy move?

• the coldness will move from the pan to the egg

• the coldness will move from the egg to the pan

• the heat will travel from the pan to the egg

• the heat will move from the egg to the pan

Why does the ice in your ice tea melt?

• thermal energy in the room absorbs the cold from your ice

• the ice in your tea absorbs the heat around it

• thermal energy moves back and forth from the ice to the room

• the ice gives thermal energy to the room

What happens when you use water to put out a fire?

• the water transforms the thermal energy to chemical energy

• the water causes a chemical reaction to reduce the fire

• the water releases its thermal energy to the fire

• the water absorbs the thermal energy from the fire
