Hint: Remember the Energy Change Formula

The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called
heat
temperature
motion
momentum
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called
conduction
convection
radiation
insulation
Heat transfer occurs
In many directions
both from warm objects to colder ones and from cold objects to warmer ones.
only from warm objects to colder ones.
only from cold objects to warmer ones.
Heated air moves from baseboard heaters to the rest of a room in a process called
conduction
convection
radiation
insulation
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called
thermal energy
conduction
convection
temperature

specific heat
conduction
convection
radiation
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin is called its
change of state
specific heat
heat transfer
melting point
Most of the world uses this temperature scale
celsius
fahrenheit
kelvin
A material that conducts heat poorly is called a(n)
metal
insulator
conductor
radiator
Which of these is a good conductor?
wood
silver
paper
air
At absolute zero, the particles in an object have no kinetic energy.
True
False
A student lists three temperature measurements: 100°F, 100°C, and 100 K. Of the three measurements, 100 K is the highest temperature.
True
False
The more particles an object has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.
True
False
You feel the warm glow of a bonfire. This is an example of radiation heat transfer.
True
False
During conduction heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid.
True
False
Trapped air is a good conductor because it reduces heat transfer.
True
False
As most substances are cooled, they expand.
True
False
