Quiz about Thermal Energy and Heat Review

Question 1

How is temperature related to heat?

Accepted Answer

Adding heat energy to an object can increase its temperature.

Temperature and heat are two different ways to measure the same thing.

Answer

Heat is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Question 2

Eric places some room-temperature strawberries into his freezer. Which of the following choices correctly describes what happens to the strawberries?

The heat from the strawberries is transferred to the freezer and causes the strawberries to freeze.

Answer

Some of the cold from the freezer is transferred to the strawberries and causes the strawberries to freeze.

Answer

The temperature of the freezer remains the same as the temperature of the strawberries decreases.

Answer

Heat is transferred from the freezer to the strawberries and causes the temperature of the strawberries to decrease.

Question 15

A ball with a temperature of 20^o Celsius is put in contact with a bell with a temperature of 40^o Celsius. What will happen between the ball and the bell?

Accepted Answer

Heat energy will be transferred from the bell to the ball until they reach equilibrium at 30^o C.

Answer

Heat energy will be transferred from the ball to the bell until they reach equilibrium at 30^o C.

Answer

Heat energy will be transferred from the bell to the ball until they reach equilibrium at 40^o C.

Answer

Heat energy will be transferred from the ball to the bell until they reach equilibrium at 20^o C.

Question 16

Gregory is cooking a turkey. The turkey has a starting temperature of 25^oC. The oven is preheated to 175^oC. If Gregory accidentally turns off the oven after he places the turkey in it, what will happen to the turkey?

Accepted Answer

Heat energy flows from the oven into the turkey and continues to flow until they reach equilibrium at about 100^oC or the turkey is removed.

Answer

Heat energy flows from the turkey into the oven and continues to flow until they reach equilibrium at about 100^oC or the oven is turned off.

Answer

Heat energy flows from the oven into the turkey and continues to flow until the turkey reaches its perfect temperature of 74^oC.

Answer

Heat energy flows from the turkey into the oven and continues to flow until the oven is room temperature of 25^oC.

Question 17

Sherona accidently forgot to put a carton of ice cream back into the freezer. What will happen if the ice cream sits on the counter in a 25^oC room?

Accepted Answer

The ice cream will melt as heat energy from the warm room flows into the cold ice cream until it is at equilibrium with the air at 25^oC.

Answer

The counter will freeze as heat energy from the cold ice cream flows into the warm counter until all the particles in the counter are solid.

Answer

The ice cream will melt as heat energy flows as cold air from the ice cream into the warmer air and melts.

Answer

The air will freeze as thermal energy from the cold ice cream flows into the warm air until it reaches equilibrium at 0^oC

Question 18

An ice cube is placed in a glass of warm tea. Later, the ice has melted and the tea is cooler. What is true about the system now?

Accepted Answer

Heat energy has been transferred from the warm tea to the ice cube until an equilibrium (room temperature) is reached.

Answer

Chemical potential energy of the ice cube has been transferred to the warm tea.

Answer

Thermal energy has been transferred from the surrounding air and glass to the tea.

Answer

Chemical potential energy of the warm tea has been transferred to the surrounding air and glass.

Question 19

The air in a room is warmer near the ceiling than near the floor. The warm air rises through which process?

Accepted Answer

convection

Answer

conduction

Answer

radiation

Answer

insulation

Question 20

When energy from the Sun reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the land and oceans. The land warms up faster than the oceans. The air touching the land heats up and then starts to rise, eventually circulating over the cooler ocean surface.
