3.

If two objects have different temperatures, heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler one UNTIL ____________

a)

one reaches a temperature of zero

b)

they both have an equal temperature

c)

one runs out of energy

4.

Observe the diagram. Which statement is true about the kinetic energy of the molecules in the containers?

a)

The molecules are moving faster in Diagram A

b)

The molecules are moving slower in Diagram A

c)

The molecules are moving at the same rate in both diagrams

5.
Which of the following containers of sand has atoms/molecules with the greatest average kinetic energy?  
a)
1 kg at 20oC
b)
2 kg at 20oC
c)
4 kg at 20oC
d)
none has a greater amount because all have the same average kinetic energy
6.

They would slow down
b)
They would stop moving
c)
They would speed up
d)
There would be no effect
