Thermal Energy Exam

The total kinetic energy of tiny particles that make up matter is

• mechanical energy

• solar energy

• thermal energy

The transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperature touch

• conveection

• conduction

• radiation

Regarding thermal energy, the faster the tiny particles of matter move, the colder the matter becomes.

• true

• false

The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of fluids, which occurs on a large scale in atmospheric gases, oceans, and earth's mantle.

• convection

• radiation

• conduction

The energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures.

• cold

• heat

• radiation

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy just changes form.

• Sir Isaac Newton's law

• the law of conservation of energy

• the law of motion

One example of conduction is when ----

• the handle of a pot on a fire gets hot

• warm water rises in a circular motion while being heated

• heat moves from a fire to the bottom of a pot

Conduction between two objects can only occur when ---

• one object is more dense

• both objects are in physical contact with each other

• one object is made of metal

The average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material, measured by a thermometer in degrees

• temperature

• mechanical energy

• potential energy

Heat transfer happens when some energy moves from one object ot another object

• true

• false
