Heat transfer occurs

• in many directions.
• both from warm objects to colder ones and from cold objects to warmer ones.
• only from warm objects to colder ones.
• only from cold objects to warmer ones.

A material that conducts heat poorly is called a(n)

• insulator.
• conductor.

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin is called its

• specific heat.
• heat transfer.
• change of state.
• melting point.

As the thermal energy of matter increases, its particles usually spread, causing

• condensation.
• evaporation.
• thermal expansion.
• vaporization.

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called

• thermal energy.
• conduction.
• convection.
• temperature.
