Thermal Energy Review

Even though they both are at the same temperature, which one has more thermal energy? The tea pot or the tea cup?

• Tea pot

• Tea cup

• Neither. They are the same.

What causes hot and cold water to become the same temperature once they are combined?

• The heat moves from cooler temperature to warmer temperature.

• The energy of the hot water runs out.

• Thermal energy from the hot water is transferred to the cold water.

• Thermal energy causes the water to boil.

A cup of tea (80^oC) is placed on a table in a 20^oC room.  What happens to the thermal energy and the motion of the molecules of the tea when it is left on the table?

• The thermal energy increases and the molecules move faster.
• The thermal energy decreases and molecules move more slowly.
• The thermal energy increases and the molecules move more slowly.
