On a cold winter day, Jasmine warms her hands by holding a cup of hot

coffee. How is thermal energy (heat) transferred to Jasmine’s hands?

• evaporation

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

When does thermal energy (heat) stop moving between two objects?

• when one object loses all its thermal energy

• when one object gains enough thermal energy to melt

• when one object loses enough thermal energy to freeze

• when both objects reach the same temperature

Suppose four small, warm plates are stacked on top of four large, cool plates. How will the thermal energy (heat) flow between the plates?

• Thermal energy will flow from the large plates to the small plates.

• Thermal energy will flow from the cool plates to the warm plates.

• Thermal energy will flow from the warm plates to the cool plates.

• Thermal energy will not flow between the plates.
