Thermal Transfer Quiz review

Differentiate between potential and kinetic energy.

• Potential energy is the energy of motion, while kinetic energy is stored energy.

• Potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

• Both potential and kinetic energy are forms of thermal energy.

• Potential energy and kinetic energy are the same.

Explain the inverse relationship between kinetic and potential energy.

• As potential energy increases, kinetic energy decreases, and vice versa.

• Both potential and kinetic energy increase together.

• Both potential and kinetic energy decrease together.

• There is no relationship between potential and kinetic energy.

Using Energy Skate Park, predict when the skater would have the most kinetic energy.

• At the top of the ramp

• At the bottom of the ramp

• Halfway up the ramp

• When the skater is not moving

Explain why thermal energy transfer happens.

• Because objects are at the same temperature

• Because of the difference in temperature between objects

• Because of the color of the objects

• Because of the size of the objects

Differentiate between the three types of thermal energy transfer.

• Conduction, convection, and radiation

• Conduction, reflection, and absorption

• Convection, absorption, and reflection

• Radiation, reflection, and absorption

Given an example, identify the type of thermal energy transfer happening: Heat from the sun warming your face.

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Absorption

Given an example, predict the direction of thermal energy transfer: A hot cup of coffee placed on a cold table.

• From the table to the coffee

• From the coffee to the table

• No transfer occurs

• From the air to the coffee

Describe the difference between conductors and insulators.

• Conductors allow heat to pass through easily, while insulators do not.

• Insulators allow heat to pass through easily, while conductors do not.

• Both conductors and insulators allow heat to pass through easily.

• Neither conductors nor insulators allow heat to pass through.

Use experimental data to identify which object is the best conductor or insulator: Object A heats up quickly, while Object B heats up slowly.

• Object A is the best insulator.

• Object B is the best conductor.

• Object A is the best conductor.

• Both objects are equally good conductors.
