Which of these statements is NOT true about thermal energy?

• Thermal energy can be transferred in three ways

• Thermal energy can be created and destroyed

• Thermal energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in the particles that make up an object

• Thermal energy describes the energy of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases

Why is the only way for thermal energy to travel from the Sun to the Earth is radiation?

• it is because radiation is the only way for thermal energy to travel through a vacuum

• conduction and convection can not extend the long distances that are between the Sun and Earth

• convection currents would not be able to hold the force of the Sun's thermal energy to be able to bring it to Earth

Which of these is the CORRECT definition of radiation?

• transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by transversal waves

• transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by electromagnetic waves

• transfer of thermal energy between materials due to collisions between particles

• transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another

What is the difference between thermal expansion and thermal contraction?

• thermal expansion is an increase in a material's volume when the temperature is increased and thermal contraction is a decrease in a material's volume when the temperature is decreased

• thermal expansion is an decrease in a material's volume when the temperature is increased and thermal contraction is an increase in a material's volume when the temperature is decreased

• thermal expansion is a decrease in a material's volume when the temperature is decreased and thermal contraction is an increase in a material's volume when the temperature is increased

• the kinetic energy of all the particles in contact has to be equal

• the potential energy of all the particles in contact has to be equal
