Thermal Energy Vs Temperature

What is the main difference between thermal energy and temperature?

• Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy, while temperature is the average kinetic energy.

• Thermal energy is measured in degrees, while temperature is measured in joules.

• Thermal energy and temperature are the same thing.

• Thermal energy is only found in large objects, while temperature is only found in small objects.

Why does an iceberg have more thermal energy than a cup of hot coffee?

• Because it is colder.

• Because it is larger in mass.

• Because it is made of ice.

• Because it is at absolute zero.

What happens when you pour hot coffee onto an iceberg?

• Nothing happens.

• The coffee heats up the entire iceberg.

• The iceberg melts completely.

• The coffee cools down as heat transfers to the iceberg.

Why does aluminum feel cooler than a book at the same temperature?

• Because aluminum is heavier.

• Because aluminum is shinier.

• Because aluminum is a better conductor of heat.

• Because aluminum is colder.

What is the direction of heat transfer between two objects?

• From the warmer object to the cooler object.

• It depends on the color of the objects.

• Heat does not transfer between objects.

• From the cooler object to the warmer object.
