3.

The diagram shows energy being transmitted from the sun to Earth.

How is the energy being transferred?

a)

The energy is transferred as thermal radiation and light because no direct contact is needed between the sun and Earth for the energy to transfer.

b)

The energy is transferred by conduction because no direct contact is needed between the sun and Earth for the energy to transfer.

c)

The energy is not being transferred because the Earth is the same temperature as the sun and they are both in equilibrium.

d)

The energy is transferred by conduction because the sun and Earth are always in direct contact.

4.

a)

The ice cream will become warmer than the brownie.

b)

The brownie will become warmer than the ice cream.

c)

The ice cream will become warmer, and the brownie will become colder until they become the same temperature.

The brownie will become warmer, and the ice cream will become colder.

5.

Which is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer substance to a cooler substance?

a)

activity

b)

heat

c)

absorption

d)

temperature

6.

Which is the best indicator that thermal energy is moving between two objects?

a)

The temperature of both objects changes until they have reached equilibrium.

b)

The temperature of both objects remains the same.

c)

The temperature of both objects decreases.

d)

The temperature of both objects increases

7.

Which condition is needed for heat to be transferred by conduction?
