  • One example of convection is:
    Will vary.
  • The transfer of energy by electromagnetic rays which may occur in empty space.
    radiation
  • The average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material, measured by a thermometer in degrees.
    temperature
  • Conduction between two objects can only occur when –
    both objects are in physical contact with each other
  • True or False: Heat transfer happens when some energy moves from one object to another object.
    True
  • Sunlight warming a room is an example of
    radiation
  • The transfer of heat energy from a campfire to a camper warming their hands, is an example of -
    radiation
  • The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of fluids, which occurs on a large scale in atmospheric gases, occeans and earth’s mantle.
    convection
  • The total kinetic energy of tiny particles that make up matter is –
    thermal energy
  • Potatoes that are boiled in water receive thermal energy through –
    Convection
  • A transfer of heat occurs while ironing a shirt. This is what type of thermal heat transfer?
    Conduction
  • Give an example of conduction.
    Any answer that shows the transfer of heat by direct contact.
  • Regarding thermal energy, the faster the tiny particles of matter move, the colder the matter becomes. (True or False)
    False
  • True or False: The faster particles move in matter, the cooler the matter is.
    False
  • A metal spoon getting hot in a pan on the stove is an example of -
    conduction
  • Heat energy is transferred to a beaker of water on a heated hot plate by –
    Conduction
  • Hot air rising and cold air sinking is an example of -
    convection
  • What type of current creates a cyclical motion that occurs because the density of a fluid is related to its temperature, causing sinking and rising of the fluid, creating a circular pattern..
    convection curent
  • What law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy just changes form?
    the law of conservation of energy
  • While roasting marshmallows the wire handle becomes hot. This is an example of -
    Conduction
  • The transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch.
    conduction
  • True or False: Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects until both reach the same temperature.
    True
  • The three ways to transfer heat energy -
    conduction, radiation and convection
  • The energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures.
    heat
  • One example of radiation is when –
    Any answer that shows the transfer of energy by electromagnetic rays which may occur in empty space.
  • Warm and cold water circulating in a pot on the stove is an example of -
    convection
  • Beach sand being warmed by the sun is an example of heat transfer through -
    Radiation
  • The water in a swimming pool is warmer near the surface and much cooler near the bottom. What type of thermal transfer is this?
    convection
  • True or False: The transfer of heat energy that moves through empty space is conduction.
    False
