Convection is part of the reason that wind feels cold. Which best explains this type of convection?

a)

The wind feels cold when it touches the skin.

b)

Heat flows away from the body more rapidly in the wind.

c)

Heat flows towards the body more rapidly in the wind.

13.
a)

radiation

b)

convection

c)

conduction

14.
a)

15.

How does a greenhouse help a gardener grow plants during a cool season?

a)

The glass transmits light into the greenhouse but it slows the transfer of thermal energy out of the greenhouse

b)

The glass panels transfer thermal energy into the greenhouse but they do not transfer thermal energy out.

c)

The greenhouse converts light energy into thermal energy so the plants grow faster.

conduction and convection

b)

radiation and convection

c)

radiation and conduction

a)

Cooling causes air to contract and heating causes air to expand

b)

Air contracts when cooled but is not affected by warming.

c)

Balloons put more pressure on cold air than room temperature air.

d)

Freezing causes balloons to contract and thawing causes them expand.

18.

Manuel was having trouble opening a new glass jar of pickles. His father told Manuel to hold the metal lid of the jar under running hot water for a few seconds, then try again. Then the lid opened easily. What is the MOST likely reason Manuel’s father suggested using hot water to loosen the lid?

a)

Metals expand when they are heated.

b)

Glass contracts when it is heated.

c)

Metals are easier to grip when they are warm.

d)

Hot water reduces friction between metal and glass.

19.

b)

Heated water molecules and steam rise in the beaker, carrying heat by convection.

c)

Evaporation heats the water at the top and the flame heats the water at the bottom.

d)

The walls of the beaker reflect heat toward the center, so the water heats evenly.
