When you measure the temperature of an object, you are measuring...

• The sum of its kinetic and potential energies.

• The average chemical energy of its particles

• The average kinetic energy of its particle

• The specific heat of the object

__ is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Which is temperature most directly related to?

• Kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Mechanical energy

• Potential energy

How does the motions of the particles that makes up an object change when the object's temperature increases?

• The particles that make up an object move faster

• The particles that make up an object will not move

• The particles that make up an object will move the same

• The particles that make up an object move slower

Why does water have a high specific heat?

• Because of evaporation

• Due to weak hydrogen bonds

• Because of its low density

• Due to strong hydrogen bonds allowing effective heat absorption

Which is NOT a form of thermal energy transfer?
