Ross puts ice cubes into a glass of water at room temperature. He feels the water change from warm to cold as thermal energy transfers from the water to the ice cubes. When will the thermal energy stop flowing?

a)

when the ice cubes completely melt

b)

when the water in the glass freezes

c)

when the water reaches 32C

d)

when the water refreezes into one big block of solid ice

2.

a)

radiation

b)

conduction

c)

convection

A car taking off from a stoplight

b)

A car coming to a stop

c)

A moving ball being caught

d)

A rollercoaster going down a hill

4.

a)

The car’s kinetic energy is increasing and its potential energy is decreasing

b)

The car’s kinetic energy is decreasing and its potential energy is increasing

c)

The car’s kinetic energy is increasing and its potential energy is increasing

5.

Bob and Brian go on a Boy Scout camping trip. As they begin to make their campfire, they realize they forgot to bring something to start the fire. The boys decide to rub two dry sticks together vigorously until the sticks begin to make a spark. The boys quickly add twigs and leaves to the small flame, eventually building a fire.


Which energy transformations occur during the formation of the campfire?

a)

mechanical energy ---> chemical energy

b)

heat energy ---> chemical energy

c)

mechanical energy---> heat energy

d)

chemical energy ---> heat energy

6.

The density of silver is 10.49 g/cm3. If a sample of pure silver has a volume of 12.993 cm3, what is the mass?

a)

23.48 g

b)

0.80 g

c)

2.50 g

d)

136.29 g

7.

What is the mass of a 350 cm3 sample of pure silicon with a density of 2.336 g/cm3?

a)

817.6 g

b)

149.82 g

c)

352.33 g

d)

347.66 g

8.

Students are conducting a laboratory investigation over the flow of thermal energy. They put a sealed Ziploc bag filled with water at 50˚ C into a beaker filled with the same amount of water but 80˚ C. The students then put the beaker into an insulated bucket. Based on your knowledge of thermal energy, what can be predicted about what will happen next?

a)

Thermal energy will flow from the cooler water in the bag to the warmer water in the beaker so the temperature of the water in the beaker will be less than that of the bag.

b)

Thermal energy will flow from the warmer water in the beaker to the cooler water in the bag so the temperature of the water in the bag will be warmer than that in the beaker.

c)

Thermal energy will flow from the cooler water in the bag to the warmer water in the beaker so the temperatures will be even.

d)

Thermal energy will flow from the warmer water in the beaker to the cooler water in the bag so the temperatures will be even.

9.

A cook heats a meal in the microwave oven. What energy transformations occur between the microwave oven and the meal?

a)

b)

chemical--> thermal--> light

c)

electrical--> electromagnetic--> thermal

d)

chemical--> electromagnetic--> chemical
