Bundles of energy transferred from the sun that move through matter and space are called
|
radiation
|
|
Bundles of energy that transfer heat are called
|
Infared radiation
|
|
You can check the __________ to see how warm it is outside.
|
temperature
|
|
All movement of particles requires
|
energy
|
|
When particles of matter bump into each other, thermal energy is transferred by
|
conduction
|
|
The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another is called
|
heat
|
|
The energy transfer by hot particles moving in a liquid or gas is called
|
convection
|
|
Any material that can burn is a
|
fuel
|
|
The energy of moving objects is called
|
kinetic energy
|
|
Which uses the most energy?
jumping, shouting, writing or thinking |
jumping
|
|
The energy of motion of particles is called
|
thermal energy
|
|
When particles in the air move faster, what happens to the air temperature?
temperature rises or temperature falls |
temperature rises
|
|
Does liquid, boiling, frozen, or melting water have the fastest moving particles?
|
boiling
|
|
Does liquid, boiling, frozen, or melting water have the slowest moving particles?
|
frozen
|
|
What causes cold water to warm up when you add hot water to the cold?
|
convection
|
|
Which of the following is an example of energy transferred through infared radiation? hot water faucet, sunshine, metals, ocean water
|
sunshine
|
|
What must happen to two pieces of matter in order for thermal energy to be transferred through conduction?
|
touching
|
|
Solar panels that heat water are an example of energy tranferred through ________.
|
infared radiation
|
|
A campfire is an example of
|
radiation
|
|
Hot particles moving within an oven are an example of
|
convection
|
|
Energy transferred from a burner to the contents of a pan is called
|
conduction
|
|
Which state of matter takes up the most space? Why?
|
a gas, because its particles move quickly and are most spread out
|
|
Which would be warmest in the winter and coolest in the summer?
wood barn or metal barn |
wood because it is an insulator - warm air inside in the winter and outside in the summer
|
|
What type of clothing would you wear in the winter to stay warm? How do these types of clothing help?
|
Clothes that insulate - keep my body heat close to me
|
|
Which setting would involve faster moving particles? a beach on a sunny day or a snowy day in the country
|
a beach on a sunny day
|
|
Energy of motion and matter can be measured. How could you measure the average energy of motion in a glass of water?
|
thermometer
|
|
When you measure the average energy of motion the second time, the average energy has increased. What can you infer has happened?
|
thermal energy has been added - the water warmed up
|
|
The third time you measured the average energy of motion of the matter in the glass of water, the average energy has decreased. What can you infer has happened?
|
Thermal energy has been taken away - the water has been cooled.
|
|
If you took the following data readings of thermal energy from a metal roof, would you infer that the data was taken at the beginning or end of the day? Explain why.
90 deg. F 80 deg. F 70 deg. F 60 deg. F |
The data was taken at the end of the day because the roof loses heat as the sun sets.
