Amplify Thermal Energy Unit Test

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, which is related to its temperature.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is the energy an object possesses due to its movement.

Front

What happens to molecules at absolute zero?

Back

At absolute zero, the molecules that make up a sample wouldn't be moving.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the thermal energy of a substance also increases.

Front

What is the correct order of temperature from hottest to coldest?

Back

Hotter, Colder.

Front

What does a thermal energy simulator represent?

Back

A thermal energy simulator represents different proposals or systems for understanding thermal energy transfer.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light.

Front

What is absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion stops, equivalent to -273.15°C or 0 Kelvin.
