Watch the following video and then answer the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Gl-yKF6Y4
Question 1
1.
What happens when you heat two vessels of water with the same amount of heat, but one has less water?
The vessel with less water reaches the boiling point faster.
The vessel with more water reaches the boiling point faster.
Both vessels reach the boiling point at the same time.
The temperature of the water in both vessels stays the same.
Question 2
2.
What is thermal energy?
The energy of particles that are not moving.
The total amount of heat in an object.
The energy that causes the temperature to increase.
The sum of kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.
Question 3
3.
How do particles in a solid like ice move?
They stop moving.
They move freely throughout the solid.
They vibrate in place but cannot move around.
They move quickly and randomly.
Question 4
4.
What is temperature a measure of?
The speed of the particles.
The average kinetic energy of the particles.
The amount of heat energy in an object.
The total energy of all particles.
Question 5
5.
If you have two different amounts of water at room temperature, which one will have the higher thermal energy?
The one with more water will have lower thermal energy.
They will have the same thermal energy.
The one with more water.
The one with less water.
Question 6
6.
How is heat energy different from thermal energy?
Heat energy is only measured in solids.
Heat energy is the same as thermal energy.
Heat energy is the total kinetic energy of particles.
Heat energy is the amount of energy transferred between objects.
Question 7
7.
What happens in conduction?
Heat energy is transferred only in gases.
Heat energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
Heat energy is transferred through moving particles.
Heat energy is transferred without any particle movement.
Question 8
8.
In which state of matter does convection occur?
Solids and gases
Liquids and gases
Gases only
Solids
Question 9
9.
How is heat transferred by radiation?
Through direct contact between objects.
Through matter moving from one place to another.
Through electromagnetic waves without needing matter.
Through the vibration of particles in contact.
Question 10
10.
Why does a smaller amount of water heat up faster than a larger amount, even with the same amount of heat?
The smaller amount has more particles, so the energy is spread out more.
The smaller amount has fewer particles, so the energy is distributed among fewer molecules, increasing the temperature more.
The temperature of the smaller amount of water decreases faster.
The larger amount of water absorbs more heat than the smaller one.

Question 11
11.
What is the main difference between heat and temperature?
Heat and temperature are the same thing.
Heat measures the size of an object, while temperature measures the color of an object.
Heat is the total energy of all the molecules, while temperature is the average energy of the molecules.
Heat is the temperature of an object, and temperature is how hot the object feels.
Question 12
12.
What causes heat to flow from a hot object to a cold one?
The temperature rises in the cold object.
Molecular collisions that transfer kinetic energy from fast-moving molecules to slower ones.
Energy is added to the cold object.
The object expands and contracts.
Question 13
13.
How does the temperature of an object relate to the movement of its molecules?
Cold objects have molecules that move faster than hot objects.
Hot objects have molecules that move faster than cold objects.
The movement of molecules does not affect temperature.
Molecules in hot and cold objects move at the same speed.
Question 14
14.
What happens to the heat of a large object compared to a smaller object at the same temperature?
They both have the same amount of heat.
The heat of both objects is the same regardless of size.
The small object has more heat because it has fewer molecules.
The large object has more heat because it has more molecules.
Question 15
15.
When two objects with different temperatures touch, what happens?
Heat flows from the hotter object to the cooler one.
No heat flows because the objects are in contact.
The hotter object gets colder and the cooler object gets hotter at the same rate.
The objects reach the same temperature instantly.
Question 16
16.
What does the kinetic-molecular theory explain about heat?
Heat moves only through solids, not liquids or gases.
Heat is caused by an invisible fluid in all objects.
Heat is caused by faster-moving molecules in hotter objects.
Heat is transferred through radiation, not conduction.
Question 17
17.
What happens to the kinetic energy of molecules when an object cools down?
The molecules stop moving.
The molecules do not change speed.
The molecules speed up, gaining more kinetic energy.
The molecules move slower, losing kinetic energy.
Question 18
18.
Which of these is true about the relationship between heat and temperature?
Temperature is the total energy of all the molecules, while heat is the average energy.
Heat is the temperature of an object, while temperature is the size of the object.
Heat and temperature are the same thing.
Heat is the total energy of all the molecules, while temperature is the average energy of the molecules.
Question 19
19.
What is conduction?
The movement of heat through empty space.
The flow of heat through water.
The transfer of heat through molecular collisions between objects.
The change in temperature of a substance.
Question 20
20.
How is heat measured?
In kilograms
In degrees Celsius
In joules
In meters
