If you take a baked potato out of the oven and

remove the foil you'll notice the foil cools down

quickly. However, it's unwise to bite the potato

right when the foil cools because it will still be

very hot. What is the reason for this?

a)

Radiation from the foil keeps the potato hot.

b)

The foil's high thermal capacity keeps the potato

warm.

c)

The foil's thermal conductivity is low and the

potato's is very high.

d)

The foil has a higher thermal conductivity and

lower heat capacity than the potato.

25.

On a summer morning, John walks barefoot

across his paved driveway with no problem.

However, later that afternoon he steps barefoot

onto the same driveway and must quickly run off

because the bottoms of his feet feel like they are

burning. Which statement best explains why this occurred?

a)

As the temperature increased during the day,

the particles in the pavement moved slower and

the thermal energy increased.

b)

As the temperature increased during the day,

the particles in the pavement moved slower and

the thermal energy decreased.

c)

As the temperature increased during the day,

the particles in the pavement moved faster and

the thermal energy increased.

d)

As the temperature increased during the day,

the particles in the pavement moved faster and

the thermal energy decreased.

kinetic energy and her potential energy

decrease.v

27.

Which statement best compares these two

waves?

a)

Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a

longer wavelength than wave 2

b)

Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a

higher amplitude than wave 2.

c)

Wave 2 has more energy because it has a

higher amplitude than wave 1.

higher frequency than wave1.

28.

Which statement describes the energy changes

that occur when water in a tea kettle is heated on

a stove that uses natural gas?

a)

Some of the light energy in the natural gas

transforms into chemical energy in the water.

Then some of the chemical energy changes into

kinetic energy when the steam leaves the kettle

and sound energy when the water boils.

b)

Some of the thermal energy in the natural gas

transforms into sound energy when the water

becomes hot. Then some of the sound energy

changes into light energy when the kettle

becomes warm.

c)

Some of the electrical energy in the natural gas

transforms into thermal energy, which causes

the water to form steam. Then some of the

thermal energy changes into sound energy and

light energy when the steam leaves the kettle.

d)

Some of the chemical energy in the natural gas

transforms into thermal energy, which heats the

water. Then some of the thermal energy

changes into sound energy when the water

forms steam and the steam leaves the kettle.
