End of Semester Game

A pan is heated on a stove. When the handle is touched, it feels hot. The best explanation of the transfer of thermal energy between the pan’s handle and the hand is that thermal energy is transferred by –

• Convection

• Conduction

• Equilibrium

• Radiation

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• none of the above

Which statements are incorrect? Select two.

• Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.

• As temperature decreases, particles move more slowly and become closer together.

• Particles are spread farther apart and begin to move slower as the temperature of a liquid increases.

• As the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy increases.

• A change in temperature does not cause a change in kinetic energy or the arrangement of the particles.

Select the diagram that best represents the direction that thermal energy will move between the ice and the warm drink.

• From the ice to the warm drink.

• From the warm drink to the ice.

• From the warm drink to the ice and back to the warm drink.

• The thermal energy will not move, but remain the same for both.

A student conducts an experiment to test if he can fry an egg by placing it directly on a hot sidewalk. Which type of thermal energy transfer is the student testing in his experiment?

• A. conduction

• B. convection

• C. radiation

• D. none of the above

Hot air balloons rise because heated air is less dense than cold air; so as the warm air rises, the molecules spread out. The cold air is pushed downward, where it is also heated and rises. This movement of air is called -

• A. conduction

• B. convection

• C. radiation

• D. None of the choices are correct.

Remi studies thermal energy transfer within a system of four objects labeled A, B, C, and D. These activities occur: * Objects A and B are placed in contact with each other. No thermal energy transfer occurs. * Next, Objects C and D are placed in contact with each other. No thermal energy transfer occurs. * Finally, Objects B and C are placed in contact with each other. Thermal energy transfers from Object B to Object C for 5 minutes, and then thermal energy transfer no longer occurs. Which statements correctly compare the temperatures of the objects AFTER the investigation has ended? Select TWO correct answers.

• The temperature of Object B is lower than that of Object D.

• The temperature of Object A is higher than that of Object D.

• The temperature of Object A is higher than that of Object C.

• The temperature of Object B is the same as that of Object A.
