12.

Describe the change in temperature of the hot water in the water

a)

The temperature of the hot object will drop until the temperature of both objects become the same

b)

The temperature of the hot object will rise until the temperature of both objects become the same

c)

The temperature of the cold object will drop until the temperature of both objects become the same

d)

The temperature of the cold object will rise until the temperature of both objects become the same

13.

What causes the change in temperature?

a)

Net heat transfer between the two objects become one

b)

Net heat transfer between the two objects become zero

14.

Arrange according flow of heat energy and thermal equilibrium


i. Temperature of P and temperature of Q become the same

ii. Hot object, P is in thermal contact with cold object, Q

iii. Therefore, temperature of P drops and temperature of Q rises

iv. The rate of heat transfer from P to Q is the same as the rate of heat transfer from Q to P

v. The rate of heat transfer from P to Q is higher than the rate of heat transfer from Q to P

vi. Net heat transfer between P and Q becomes zero

vii. There is a net transfer of heat from P to Q

viii. P and Q are in state of thermal eqilibrum

a)

iii, ii, vii, i, viii, iv, v, vi

b)

ii, v, vii, iii, i, iv, vi, viii

15.

17.

What happens when food is kept in refrigerator?

a)

Heat from the food flows to the air in the refrigerator until thermal equilibrium occurs

b)

Food stays fresh for a longer period

c)

Temperature of food drops

d)

Temperature of food rises

18.
