5.P.3 EOG Review

Which processes occur when a pot of water placed on a hot stove causes the water to boil?

• The pot heats because of conduction, and radiation causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of radiation, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of conduction, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of convection, and conduction causes movement of the water.

Which best describes heat transfer due to convection?

• It occurs with direct contact.

• It occurs only during the day.

• It occurs with movement of a fluid

• It occurs only when something is burning

Which causes surface water in a lake to heat up during the hot summer?

• conduction

• convection

• evaporation

• radiation

How do a wooden spoon and a metal spoon react when placed into a pot of hot soup?

• Neither spoon gets hot because heat does not transfer through metal or wood.

• Both spoons will quickly become hot because heat transfers through all materials equally.

• The metal spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through metal than wood.

• The wooden spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through wood than metal.

An engineer can choose from four different materials to make a heat-resistant handle for a stirring spoon. Which material is LEAST likely to get hot when the spoon is placed in boiling water?

• Ceramic

• Wood

• Glass

• Iron

People sitting around a campfire are able to feel he heat from the fire. How are the people able to feel the heat from the fire without touching the fire?

• The heat from the fire travels through the ground and heats the ground around the people.

• The heat from the fire is conducted through air molecules to the people.

• The heat from the fire rises in the air and then settles around the people.

• The heat from the fire radiates from the fire to the people.

What are the three types of heat transfer?

• Radaition, Conduction, Convection

• Radiation, Conductors, Sun

• Insulator, Radiation, Conuction

• Thermal Energy, Sun, Heat

• Radiation, Conduction, Convection

Which best explains 
how ice melts in 
a person’s hand? 

• The heat from a person’s  hand transfers by  radiation to the ice, causing it to melt. 
• The heat from a person’s  hand transfers by  conduction to the ice, causing it to melt.
• The cool temperature of  the ice transfers by  radiation to a person’s hand, cooling it off. 
• The cool temperature of  the ice transfers by  conduction to a person’s hand, cooling it off. 

Which best describes 
how heat 
is transferred? 

• Heat only flows  within individual  substances. 
• Heat flows from a   warmer substance to a cooler substance. 
• Heat flows from a   cooler substance to a warmer substance. 
• Heat flows in many  different directions  between substances. 

What is the original source of most of the energy that people use?

• Energy that reaches Earth’s surface by radiation from the Sun.

• Energy that reaches Earth’s surface by convection from the Sun.

• Energy that reaches Earth’s surface by radiation from Earth’s core.

• Energy that reaches Earth’s surface by conduction from Earth’s core.
