Amplify: Thermal Energy, Chapt. 3

Thermal energy is defined as...

• the same thing as temperature.

• the TOTAL kinetic energy of the molecules of an object or material.

• the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the molecules of an object or material.

• the opposite of temperature.

Thermal energy will always ____________ from an area/object of higher temperature to an area/object of lower temperature.

• average

• change

• infer

• transfer

If you add an ice cube to 1) a large bowl of soup, and 2) a smaller mug of soup, what will the impact be?

• Both the bowl and the mug of soup will increase their thermal energy.

• Only the bowl of soup will decrease its temperature.

• Only the cup of soup will decrease its temperature.

• Both will decrease their temperature, but the mug will decrease more because it has less overall volume.
