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.

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.

In this picture, heat is being transferred from sample B to sample A. When will the heat transfer stop?

• Heat transfer will keep on until object B has zero thermal energy

• Heat transfer will not stop, it will keep going

• Heat transfer will stop when sample A and sample B have reached the same temperature.
