Thermal Energy Transfer Quiz

What does Willy claim cannot get in the glove because of the dense fibers?

• Moisture

• Dirt

• Hot Air

• Cold Air

When Mosa puts on the glove and approaches the sub-zero freezer, what happens?

• All of the above

• Heat leaves her hand through the glove

• Cold absorbs through the glove

• Heat shoots out of her hand and thaws the entire freezer.

When Mosa and her team use the quantum microscope on the soup and spoon, what do they see happening with the particles?

• Cold particles on the spoon are moving fast, hot particles in the soup are moving slow.

• No particles were moving.

• Cold particles on the spoon are moving slowly, hot particles in the soup are moving fast.

• All the particles were moving at the same speed.

How do the particles conduct heat up the spoon?

• The slower moving particles in the soup bump into particles in the spoon, which then bump into their neighbors, and so on.

• Magic

• I don't know

• The faster moving particles in the soup bump into particles in the spoon, which then bump into their neighbors, and so on.

Why does the metal spoon conduct heat better than the plastic spoon?

• The particles conduct heat better because they are happy.

• The particles are more dense and packed together.

• The particles transfer heat via text messages.

• The particles are less dense and further apart.

What does Mosa mean when she says the gloves need to be made out a material that is a “good insulator”?

• They should be made from material that allows thermal energy to transferring quickly (conducting).

• They should be stylish and warm!

• They should be made from material that prevents thermal energy from transferring quickly (insulates).

• They should be mad from a material that has lots of loosely packed particles and allows heat transfer.

Why do the “Insulators” leave an air space between the two window panes when they install them?

• The air will be warmed from the inside and then trapped there, keeping the house warm.

• The air will be cooled from the inside and then trapped there, keeping the house cool.

• It looks better.

• Just in case one breaks.

Why does merino wool, with its pockets of air, make warmer gloves than the dense fibers of the Willy Warm Gloves?

• They are softer.

• The air is a poor conductor of heat, since its molecules are spread far apart, thus the heat from your hands will not conduct quickly through the gloves out into the air.

• The air is a good conductor of heat, since its molecules are close together, thus the heat from your hands will conduct quickly through the gloves out into the air.

• Merino wool has special powers.
