Two metal cans are identical, except that one has a shiny silver outer surface and the other has a

dull black outer surface.

They each have 300 g of water at 80 °C sealed inside them. They are

both in a vacuum, in the darkness of outer space.

How does the temperature of the water in each one change?

• Neither one will cool down.

• The water in the black can cools more slowly than that in the shiny can.

• The water in the shiny can cools more slowly than that in the black can.

• They both cool down at the same rate.

The metal surface of a kettle is hot.

What happens to the cool air outside the kettle when it comes into contact with the hot kettle?

• The density of the air decreases and the air falls.

• The density of the air decreases and the air rises.

• The density of the air increases and the air falls.

• The density of the air increases and the air rises.

Some hot water is sealed inside a metal can. The can is in a vacuum in outer space.

The hot

water slowly cools down.

How does the thermal energy escape into space?

• by conduction then convection

• by conduction then radiation

• by evaporation then convection

• by evaporation then radiation

Which statement about convection is not correct?

• A It enables water in a pan on a cooker to get evenly heated.

• B It happens in liquids and gases.

• C It means that heat rises.

• D It occurs because the density of a fluid decreases when it is heated.

Which statement about convection currents is correct?

• Convection currents occur because, when cooled, liquids contract and become more dense.

• Convection currents occur because, when warmed, liquids expand and become more dense.

• Convection currents only occur in liquids.

• Convection currents only occur in solids and liquids.
