Ch.6 ENERGY TEST

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

• conduction
• thermal energy
• temperature
• convection

Which of these substances has the highest specific heat?

• sand

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called:

• convection
• conduction
• insulation
• radiation

Which of the following is true of the Celsius scale?

• 0 degrees is the freezing point of water
• 32 degrees is the freezing point of water
• 0 degrees is absolute zero
• 212 degrees is the boiling point of water

Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself in a process called

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• insulation

Absolute zero is shown as 0 on which scale?

• Fahrenheit
• Celcius
• Kelvin
• Centigrade

The more particles a substance has at a given temperature,

• the more thermal energy it has.
• the more degrees it has.
• the higher its temperature
• the more kelvins it has.

A material that does NOT conduct heat well is called a(n)

• insulator
• radiator
• conductor
• metal

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

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

• Celsius
• Kelvin
• absolute zero
• Fahrenheit
