Thermal Energy Review

The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

• heat

• thermal energy

• temperature

• thermometer

The method of thermal energy transfer that occurs due to direct contact.

• conduction

• convection

• insulation

• radiation

The method of thermal energy transfer that occurs through electromagnetic waves.

• convection

• radiation

• conductor

• conduction

The thermal energy transfer that takes place through the movement of liquids and gases.

• radiation

• insulator

• convection

• conduction

How does thermal energy transfer?

• It transfers from warmer areas to cooler areas

• It transfers from cooler areas to warmer areas.

• Cold moves into warm areas to lower its temperature

• The cold escapes from the areas of higher temperature

When does heat transfer occur?

• When objects are in equilibrium

• When objects have the same temperature

• When objects have no thermal energy and need it

• When objects are different temperatures

How does the heat from the Sun reach the Earth?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• None of the above

What is an example of heat transfer by radiation?

• Touching a hot stove

• Using a blanket to stay warm

• Feeling the warmth of the sun on your face

• Stirring hot soup

What type of heat transfer is shown?

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
