Thermal Energy

The total energy of all the particles in a sample of matter is called —————

• Total Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Particle Energy

Thermal energy is transferred from————-

• A cooler object to a hotter one

• A hotter object to a cooler one

Thermal Energy depends upon the energy of the particles as well as the number of particles. Which would have more thermal energy, a small cube of Ice at zero Celsius or a large cube of ice at zero Celsius?

• The large ice cube because it has more particles than the small ice cube

• The small cube of ice because it will melt faster than the large ice cube

• Neither, they are cold so they do not have thermal energy

• both have the same thermal energy because they are both at zero Celsius.

Which sample has the higher temperature?

• Sample B because it has more thermal energy and more molecules

• Sample B because the molecules are brown

• Sample A because the molecules are moving faster and have more average kinetic energy

• Sample A because yellow is such a hot color

If you brought sample A and B close together , in what direction would heat be transferred?

• From sample A to sample B

• From sample B to sample A

• Heat would not be transferred.

• sample A and sample B would both transfer heat to each other.
