Unit Four Test Review - Thermal Energy

What are the 3 main temperature scales?

• Fahrenheit
• Celsius
• Kelvin
• Rankin

Which temperature scale is used in most of the world, and therefore also in Science?

• Fahrenheit
• Celsius
• Kelvin
• Rankin

Heat is:

• The transfer of energy
• The total energy of the object
• The measure of average particle motion

Temperature is:

• The transfer of energy
• The total energy of the object
• The measure of average particle motion

Thermal Energy is:

• The transfer of energy
• The total energy of the object
• The measure of average particle motion

What is absolute zero? (one best answer)

• the lowest possible temperature
• zero particle motion
• 0 K
• All of these

Which has the MOST thermal energy?

• a 2.5 million liter swimming pool
• a 200 mL cup of hot coffee
• a 500 mL bottle of water at room temperature
• a 99.2 metric ton iceberg

As heat energy increases in a substance,

• particle motion decreases.
• particle motion increases.
• particle motion stays the same.

What is this a graph of? (one best answer)

• phase change
• a substance moving through the states of matter
• shows how the change in heat energy affects temperature and state of matter
• All of these

A heat regulating device that uses uneven thermal expansion of a bimetallic strip to activate a switch:

• Thermostat
• Heat Engine
• Refrigerator
