(Chapter 2) Thermal Energy Review (Amplify)

What happens when two objects at different temperatures touch?

• Heat transfer occurs from the hotter object to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium.

• The cooler object absorbs heat and becomes hotter than the hotter object.

• Both objects explode due to the temperature difference.

• No change occurs as the temperatures remain constant.

What occurs during a collision between two objects with different temperatures?

• Thermal energy is transferred from the cooler object to the hotter object.

• No energy is transferred between the objects.

• Thermal energy is transferred from the hotter object to the cooler object.

• Both objects reach the same temperature instantly.

How does the number of molecules in an object affect its thermal energy?

• The more molecules an object has, the more thermal energy it has, because there are more particles contributing to the total kinetic energy.

• The number of molecules has no effect on thermal energy; it is solely dependent on temperature.

• More molecules in an object lead to lower thermal energy due to increased mass.

• Thermal energy decreases as the number of molecules increases, as they compete for energy.

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

• Temperature is a measure of the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance, while thermal energy is the average kinetic energy of the particles.

• Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles.

• Temperature and thermal energy are the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

• Temperature is unrelated to thermal energy and measures only the heat content of a substance.

What is radiation?

• Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

• Radiation is the process of cooling an object by removing heat from it.

• Radiation is the movement of particles through a medium without any energy transfer.

• Radiation is the reflection of light off a surface.

What is convection?

• The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids caused by differences in temperature.

• The process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.

• The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

• The movement of air caused by pressure differences in the atmosphere.

What is the role of molecules in thermal energy?

• Molecules in a substance move and vibrate, and their motion contributes to the substance's thermal energy.

• Molecules absorb thermal energy and convert it into light energy.

• Molecules in a substance remain stationary and do not affect thermal energy.

• Molecules only contribute to thermal energy when they are in a gas state.

What is thermal equilibrium?

• A state where two objects have different temperatures and heat flows between them.

• A state reached when two objects in contact have the same temperature and no heat flows between them.

• A condition where one object is heated while the other is cooled.

• A situation where heat is continuously exchanged between two objects.

Why do objects with more thermal energy feel warmer?

• They have a higher mass, which retains heat better.

• They have faster-moving molecules that transfer more kinetic energy to our skin.

• They are made of materials that conduct heat more efficiently.

• They are exposed to more sunlight, increasing their temperature.
