A beach condo developer in Galveston is trying to decide what kind of windows to install in her condos. She wants the windows to provide the most comfortable environment for her renters. Which statement below is NOT a factor in choosing the windows?

• Windows that allow radiation from sunlight to warm the inside

• Windows that prevent outside air from entering via convection

• Windows that prevent inside air from escaping via convection

• Windows that block any thermal exchange

Four containers made of different materials were set out on a table. Each container held water with a temperature of 30°C. The temperature of the water was measured after 15 minutes. Which container was the most effective at preventing heat transfer from the water to the environment? Type in your answer.

A beaker of 98°C liquid was set on a table in a 72°C lab. A group of students monitored the temperature of the liquid for 45 minutes but had to leave class when the bell rang. When they return tomorrow, what will be the temperature of the liquid?

• The temperature of the liquid will be 0°C because heat will continue to leave the beaker until it reaches freezing.

• The temperature of the liquid will be 72°C because once it reaches the temperature of the room, it will be at equilibrium.

• The temperature of the liquid will be 98°C because heat from the lab will start to warm it back up.

• The temperature of the liquid will be 0°C because that is the lowest temperature it can reach.

A student investigates the thermal energy transfer of two liquids. The student graphs the temperature of the liquids over time. Which statement best describes the thermal energy transfer of the liquids?

• Thermal energy from the cooler liquids is transferred to the warmer environment until the liquids reach thermal equilibrium.

• Thermal energy from the warmer liquids is transferred to the cooler environment until the liquids reach thermal equilibrium.

• Thermal energy from the environment is increasing the temperature of the liquids.

• Thermal energy from the warm liquids is decreasing the temperature of the environment.

The insulated tumbler shown in the image provided was designed to prevent thermal energy transfer. The tumbler comes in light colors for outdoor use, but this tumbler is dark-colored. It is constructed with a vacuum layer between the inner wall and the outer wall. This means there is no air between the two walls. How is the tumbler affected by the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, and radiation?
