7.

An unlit candle was laid on a table directly in front of a hot fireplace.

Which most likely explains why the candle melted?

a)

Heat energy from the fire was radiated through the air into the

candle.

b)

Heat energy from the fire was conducted through the table into the candle.

8.

Which best explains how ice melts in a person’s hand?

a)

The heat from a person’s hand transfers by radiation to the ice,

causing it to melt.

b)

The heat from a person’s hand transfers by conduction to the ice, causing it to melt.

c)

The cool temperature of the ice transfers by radiation to a person’s hand, cooling it off.

d)

The cool temperature of the ice transfers by conduction to a person’s hand, cooling it off.

9.

Which best explains how convected heat causes a hot air balloon to stay

in the air?

a)

The heat is falling and replacing cooler air.

b)

The heat is produced from the rising of air currents.

c)

The heat is absorbed through the balloon from the sun.

d)

The heat is rising and circulating, causing the balloon to stay up in the air.
