Ch.2 Practice Test

At the freezing point, the particles in an object have no kinetic energy.

• True

• False

On the Celsius temperature scale, there are no negative numbers.

• True

• False

The more particles an object has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.

• True

• False

Object A is much larger than Object B, but both are made of the same material. If both objects are at the same temperature, the thermal energy of Object A is the same as the thermal energy of Object B.

• True

• False

When heat is absorbed by an object, the speed of the particles in the object is unchanged.

• True

• False
