G7 Quiz: heat transfer

What are the units for measuring heat energy?

• newtons

• degrees Celsius

• joules

• degrees Fahrenheit

If you leave a cup of hot tea standing in the kitchen for a whole day, what will happen?

• No energy will be transferred.

• It will gain energy from the air in the kitchen.

• Energy will be transferred from the tea to the air until the tea is the same temperature as the air.

• Energy will be transferred from the tea to

  the air in the kitchen, so the tea will end up colder than the air in the kitchen.

   The amount of heat energy in an object depends on three things. Which of these things does it not depend on?

• its mass

• its colour

• its temperature

• the material it is made from

   Which of these materials is a good conductor of heat?

• copper

When one end of a piece of metal is heated:

• the particles vibrate less and so the particles get closer together.

• the particles vibrate more and the vibrations are passed from particle to particle.

• the heat does not move through the metal.

• the particles get bigger.
