Thermal Energy, Temperature, and Heat

During the summer, Chang takes a glass of milk from the refrigerator and places it on the kitchen counter. Over time, energy as heat is transferred to the milk from the air. Which change would most likely occur?

• The temperature of the milk will increase.

• The temperature of the milk will decrease.

• The milk will change from a liquid to a gas.

• The milk will change from a liquid to a solid.

Emerson places a beaker of water on a hotplate and turns the hotplate on. The temperature in the room is 25 ºC. After the water heats to 75 ºC, she adds pieces of ice to the beaker. Which of the following describes a transfer of heat energy that occurs during this experiment?

• from the air to the water

• from the ice to the beaker

• from the water to the ice

• from the water to the hotplate

Directions: The table below shows the temperatures of several different objects made of the same material. Use the table to answer the question below.

What will happen if the ball is placed inside the box, in a closed system?

• Thermal energy will flow from the ball into the box until they come to the same temperature at 50°C.

• Thermal energy will flow from the box into the ball until they come to the same temperature at 25°C.

• Thermal energy will flow from the ball into the box until the box decreases in temperature to 20°C.

• Thermal energy will flow from the box into the ball until the ball increases in temperature to 30°C.

Gregory is making a turkey for Thanksgiving by roasting it in his oven. The turkey started at a room temperature of 25°C, and the oven was preheated to 175°C. If Gregory accidentally turns off the oven after he places the turkey inside of it, then what will happen to the turkey?

• Thermal energy flows from the oven into the turkey and continues to flow until they reach equilibrium at 100°C or the turkey is removed.

• Thermal energy flows from the turkey into the oven and continues to flow until they reach equilibrium at 100°C or the oven is turned off.

• Thermal energy flows from the oven into the turkey and continues to flow until the turkey reaches its perfect temperature of 74°C.

• Thermal energy flows from the turkey into the oven and continues to flow until the oven is room temperature of 25°C.

Nash puts his cold Coke Slurpee on to the metal roof of his mom's car. Describe the heat transfer that takes place.

• Heat is transferred from the car's roof into the Slurpee and increases the temperature of the Slurpee.

• Heat is transferred from the Slurpee into the roof and increases the temperature of the roof.

• The Slurpee stays the same temperature until it is completely gone.

• The roof doesn't change temperature due to the fact that it sits in the sun all day.
