Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 1

What does the rate at which an object transfers energy by heat depend on?

Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 1
Knowing how heat energy is transferred from one place to another is useful for heating and insulating our homes
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 2

Which of the following statements best describes our understanding of how conduction of heat occurs?

Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 2
In a solid, the particles can only vibrate. In substances that conduct heat, the vibrations are passed from one particle to the next

Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 3

What factors affect evaporation?

Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 3
Clothes dry better on warm windy days when they are spread out as much as possible
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 4
What effect causes energy to be transferred at a faster rate between an object and its surroundings?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 4
As a hot object cools down, the rate of cooling decreases as the temperature gets closer to the temperature of the surroundings. That is why you get a 'cooling curve' and not a 'cooling straight line' when you plot a graph of temperature vs time for cooling something down
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 5
Which of the following best explains evaporation?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 5
There is less overall energy left in the liquid which you can detect as a temperature drop
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 6
What is condensation?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 6
Energy is transferred from higher energy particles to the surface on which condensation is happening
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 7
What factors affect the amount of condensation that occurs?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 7
The colder the surface is, the more quickly the hot vaporised liquid particles cool and return to liquid form on the surface. A larger concentration of liquid vapour in the atmosphere increases the number of interactions between the liquid in the atmosphere and the surface. Again, having a surface with a larger surface area also increases the number of interactions between the surface and the liquid
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 8
Which material is best at conducting heat?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 8
All metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. The free electrons and tightly packed structure of all metals aid the conduction of heat throughout the material
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 9
Which material would be best to use as an insulator against heat loss?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 9
Expanded polystyrene contains a lot of inert gas trapped in its structure making it a good insulator because gases are poor conductors of heat
Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 10
How does convection occur?
Detailed Solution for Test: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 10
Where the fluid (remember a fluid can be either a liquid or a gas) is heated, the thermal energy increases the movement of particles, so the particles in the heated portion are further apart. Because there are fewer particles now in the same volume, the heated part of the fluid is less dense and rises to float on the more dense part. As the heated area cools, the density increases and it begins to sink again
