Quiz Review #4

A student sets up an experiment using three identical plastic bottles, painting one black, one white, and covering the third with reflective foil. The bottles are filled with the same amount of water and placed under a heat lamp for three hours.

Which statement best explains why the water in the foil-covered bottle remains the coolest?

• A. The foil prevents heat from escaping the bottle.

• B. The foil reflects most of the heat away from the bottle.

• C. The foil absorbs the heat from the lamp.

• D. The foil allows heat to pass through without being absorbed.

Sarah wants to test which material conducts heat the best. She has a copper rod, a plastic rod, and a glass rod. What is the best way for her to conduct this experiment?

• Place one end of each rod in a pot of boiling water and measure how long it takes for the other end to get warm.

• Put all three rods in the refrigerator and measure which one cools the fastest.

• Hold each rod in her hand to see which one feels warmest.

• Wrap each rod in aluminum foil and check for temperature changes.

A person is standing near a campfire and notices that their hands feel warm even though they are not touching the fire.

Which type of heat transfer is primarily responsible for this effect?

• Conduction

•  Convection
  

• Radiation
  

• Absorption

 A winter coat is designed to keep a person warm in cold temperatures. Which statement best describes how the coat functions?

• The coat acts as an insulator by trapping body heat and preventing it from escaping

•  The coat acts as a conductor by allowing external heat to pass through to the body.

• The coat cools the body by allowing cold air to circulate inside

• The coat prevents air from being trapped, allowing the body to naturally regulate temperature.
