Which sentence explains why a cold metal spoon placed in a pot of boiling water becomes hot?

Thermal energy is transferred from the water to the spoon.

Thermal energy is transferred from the spoon to the water.

Thermal energy in the water is transformed into potential energy in the spoon.

Thermal energy in the spoon is transformed into potential energy in the water.

Conduction can only occur between two objects when –

both objects are in physical contact with each other.

one object is less dense than the other.

one of the objects is made of a metal.

both objects are exactly the same temperature.

An example of a situation in which an egg is receiving thermal energy through convection -

The egg is hard boiled in a pot of water.

The egg is kept warm by its mother in the nest.

An egg cracked on a hot sidewalk starts to cook.

A metal pan on the stove fries the egg.

On a cold rainy day a baby is touching a cold window. It feels so cold. Which way is the heat moving moving?

Heat is moving from the hand to the window by conduction.

Cold is moving from the window to the hand.

It moves in currents by convection.

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

A conductor allows thermal energy to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.

An insulator allows thermal energy to flow through it easily and a conductor does not

An insulator is magnetic and a conductor is not

A conductor is magnetic and an insulator is not

Why is a frying pan often made from copper?

Because copper conducts heat easily

Air is a good thermal insulator because

The particles in air are spread very far apart and they don't bump into each other very often making it hard to move energy

The particles in air are very close together so they can bump into each other easily and move energy easily

Electrical current moves very easily through the air

The particles in air are moving so slowly

Solids and liquids are better conductors than gasses because

The particles in solids and liquids are close together so they can bump into each other easily and move energy easily

The particles in solids and liquids are spread very far apart and they don't bump into each other very often making it hard to move energy

The particles in solids and gasses are moving much faster than the particles in air.

Solids and liquids are always metals and metals are always good conductors
