| If you wanted to know the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 2kilograms of steel by 10C, you need to know steels: (a) temperature (b) thermal energy (c) heat content (d) specific heat | d: specific heat |
| The process by which heat moves from one end of a solid to the other is called: (a) convection (b) conduction (c) radiation (d) insulation. | b: conduction |
| The change of state that occurs when a gas becomes a liquid is called? (a) evaporation (b) boiling (c) freezing (d) condensation | d: condensation |
| Heat engines convert thermal energy to: (a) chemical energy (b) electrical energy (c) mechanical energy (d) radiant energy | c: mechanical energy |
| True or False: Heat transfer by radiation can occur in a vacuum. | True. Heat transfer occurs by radiation in a vacuum. |
| True or False: In order to decrease the amount of thermal energy that moves from one place to another, you would use a conductor. | True: A conductor is good at transferring heat. |
| True or False: When a substance melts, the temperature of the substance increase. | True: In order for ice to melt it has to be warmed up |
| True or False: In an external combustion engine, the fuel is burned inside the cylinder. Hint: "In"ternal or "ex"ternal | False: The fuel is burned outside. |
