Thermal Energy and Heat

No more energy can be removed from matter at

• its freezing point

• 0*C

• absolute zero

• 273 K

The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called

• heat

• temperature

• motion

• momentum

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• insulation

Heat transfer occurs

• in many directions

• both from warm to cold and cold to warm

• only from warm to cold

• only from cold to warm

A material that conducts heat poorly is called

• insulator

• conductor

• metal

• radiator

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K is called

• specific heat

• heat transfer

• change of state

• melting point

As thermal energy of matter increases, particles usually spread out, causing

• condensation

• evaporation

• thermal expansion

• vaporization

Heated air moves from baseboard heaters to the rest of a room in a process called

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• insulation

Which of these is a good conductor?

• wood

• paper

• silver

• air

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called

• thermal energy

• conduction

• convection

• temperature
