2.

When would an object left in a room temperature room stop transferring heat?

a)

When it has reached the same temperature as the room temperature air

b)

When it has lost all of its thermal energy

c)

When it has gained all of the air's thermal energy

d)

When it has gained or lost all of it's coldness to the air

3.

When I drink coffee in the morning, I warm my hands on the mug by what type of heat transfer?

a)

conduction

b)

convection

c)

radiation

d)

coziness

4.

Heat is defined as

a)

the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another due to temperature difference

b)

the temperature of a solid, liquid, or gas

c)

The kinetic energy of a solid, liquid, or gas.

5.
The heat from a lamp allows a lizard to remain warm. This is an example of which type of heat transfer?
a)
radiation
b)
conduction
c)
convection
d)
insulation
6.
Water boils at 212⁰F, which is equivalent to__.
a)
273 K
b)
0⁰ C
c)
100⁰C
d)
37⁰C
7.
Near the ceiling of a room the air is warmer; the warm air rises because of
a)
conduction
b)
convection
c)
radiation
8.

If you are holding an ice cube, where will the heat go?

a)

into the ice cube

b)

into your hand

9.

As part of a lab experiment, Tasha drops a metal cube into a beaker of water, as shown in the figure below.


After energy in the form of heat transfers between the substances, what is the final temperature of the water?

a)

The final temperature is 25 °C because there is more water than metal.

b)

The final temperature is 50 °C because the metal warms the water to the temperature of the metal.

c)

The final temperature is between 25 °C and 50 °C because energy is transferred from the metal to the water.

d)

The final temperature is between 25 °C and 50 °C because most of the thermal energy is lost to the air around the substances.

10.

Emerson places a beaker of water on a hotplate and turns the hotplate on. The temperature in the room is 25 ºC. After the water heats to 75 ºC, she adds pieces of ice to the beaker.

a)

from the air to the water

b)

from the ice to the beaker

c)

from the water to the ice

d)

from the water to the hotplate
