Topic 4_Lesson 1: Thermal Energy, Heat, and Temperature Guided

What happens to the particles in a substance when its temperature increases?

• They slow down and have less kinetic energy
• They gain potential energy
• They move faster and have greater kinetic energy
• They stop moving completely

What is the official SI unit for temperature?

• Kelvin
• Absolute zero
• Degrees Fahrenheit
• Degrees Celsius

How does the amount of matter affect thermal energy?

• More matter means less thermal energy
• More matter means more thermal energy
• The amount of matter does not affect thermal energy
• The amount of matter affects the temperature

• Absolute zero
• 0 degrees Celsius
• 100 degrees Celsius
• 32 degrees Celsius

Which has more thermal energy: a 1-liter pot of tea at 85 degrees Celsius or a 500-milliliter cup of tea at 85 degrees Celsius?

• The 500-milliliter cup of tea
• They have the same amount of thermal energy
• The 1-liter pot of tea
• Thermal energy cannot be compared
