A boy jumps into an indoor swimming pool. He notices that the water appears to get colder as he goes deeper underwater. This is due to convection. Which statement is correct?

Cold water is more dense than warm water so it sinks to the bottom of the pool.

Warm water is more dense than cold water so it rises to the surface of the pool.

The molecules in cold water have more kinetic energy than the molecules in warm water so they move to the bottom of the pool faster.

The molecules in warm water are closer together than the molecules in cold water so they rise to the surface of the pool.

Which description of the mechanism of thermal conductivity is correct?

In insulators, conduction takes place by electron transfer and molecular vibrations.

In insulators, conduction takes place by electron transfer only.

A teacher shows his class a polystyrene cup. The cup is made from thick plastic with lots of tiny air bubbles in it. He asks the class why the cup is so good at keeping a hot drink warm. Three suggestions are made. 1. It contains air which is a poor thermal conductor. 2. The air is trapped in tiny bubbles so very little convection is possible. 3. The plastic is a poor thermal conductor. Which suggestions are correct?

1 and 2 only

1 and 3 only

2 and 3 only

1, 2 and 3

One ice cube is placed on a metal block. An identical ice cube is placed on a plastic block. The blocks are left next to each other on a table in a laboratory. Which ice cube melts first and why?

The ice cube on the plastic block melts first because plastic is a good insulator of thermal energy.

The ice cube on the plastic block melts first because plastic is a good conductor of thermal energy.

The ice cube on the metal block melts first because metal is a good conductor of thermal energy.

The ice cube on the metal block melts first because metal is a good insulator of thermal energy.
