Thermal Energy Quiz

What is conduction?

• The circular movement of fluids caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluid and the falling of cooler, denser fluid

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

• The heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids

• The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles

What is convection?

• The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles

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

• The heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids

• The circular movement of fluids caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluid and the falling of cooler, denser fluid

What is heat?

• The amount of matter in a given space or volume

• Energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures that moves continually in a predictable pattern, from a warmer site to a cooler site, until all sites have reached the same temperature

• The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles

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

What is the law of conservation of energy?

• Total energy before is equal to total energy after

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

• The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles

• The amount of matter in a given space or volume

What is radiation?

• The heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids

• The circular movement of fluids caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluid and the falling of cooler, denser fluid

• The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles

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

the total (kinetic )motion energy of tiny particles that make up matter . the faster the particles moves the warmer matter comes.
