Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

When particles speed up and the volume of an object increases this is called
thermal expansion
Which one has a higher specific heat, sand or water?
water
The more particles an object has at a given temperature
The more thermal energy it has
A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles is
temperature
The more particles a substance has at a given temp, the more _______ it has.
thermal energy
What is the benefit of having trapped air between two window panes?
It acts as an insulator and keeps the heat from transferring.
