  • You touch hot cocoa to your tongue, what kind of heat transfer is occuring?
    Conduction
  • If you are trying to rapidly melt chocolate which of the following would melt faster and why? 50 oz of Chocolate or 100 oz of Chocolate
    50 oz, the smaller amount of matter means the temperature will heat up faster
  • Radiation
    Energy that travels through empty space in the form of electromagnetic waves; does not need direct contact to transfer
  • Name two forms of thermal energy transfer between a high temperature room and a glass of water with ice in it.
  • The earths heats the mantle material causing it to rise, while cooler mantle material sinks. Identify and explain the heat transfer described.
    Convection, the warmer mantle rises while the cooler mantle sinks
  • You have objects with different masses and the same amounts of thermal energy are added to each. Which object will heat slower?
    Object with more mass
  • Conductor
    Allow heat to transfer through touch easily; called maximizers; examples are metals like copper and gold
  • Convection
    Where the hot part of the fluid/gas rises and the cool part of the fluid/gas sinks; only happens in liquids and gasses
  • Panera soup is frozen and brought to a boil when people order. The buisness notices that that the 10lb bag of carrot soup heats up slower than the 8lb bag of broccoli soup. Describe why.
    The broccoli soup heats faster due to the smaller amount of mass. Less mass heats faster.
  • Describe the heat transfer between a warm bag of vegetables placed in a freezer.
    Ther warmer bag of vegetables will transfer thermal energy into the cooler freezer.
  • Insulator
    Do NOT allow heat to transfer through touch easily; slow down thermal energy transfer; called minimizers; Examples are ceramic, glass, and rubber
  • In convection.... Warm fluids
    rise
  • Heat always moves from.......
    warmer to cooler
  • Energy that travels through empty space in the form of electromagnetic waves
    Radiation
  • Which singular material (no outside heat sources) would keep you warmer in the winter and why? Iron or Fleece
    Fleece, because it is an insulator/minimizer, slows the transfer of thermal energy away from you
  • Which of the following are minimizers: Wool, Steel, Glass, Carpet, Copper, Silicon, Plastic, Iron
    Wool, glass, carpet, silicon, plastic
  • What is heat?
    the transfer of thermal energy
  • What are maximizers?
    Materials that allow transfer of thermal energy faster
  • Where the hot part of the fluid/gas rises and the cool part of the fluid/gas sinks
    Convection
  • In convection.... cold fluids
    sink
  • You have 2 objects of the same mass but different amounts of thermal energy are added to each. Which one will heat up more?
    he one with more thermal energy being added
  • A pressure pipe bursts and steam escapes and quickly fills the ceiling of a room, what kind of heat transfer is occuring?
    Convection
  • Mr. McCammon wants to prank his wife. He asks his students what kind of bowl they should place their ice cream in to have it melt fast. What material would you recommend he use to melt the ice cream quickly?
    Maximizer, Metal, Conductor
  • What are minimizers?
    Materials that slow down thermal energy transfer
  • Which of the following are Maximizers: Wool, Steel, Glass, Carpet, Copper, Silicon, Plastic, Iron
    Steel, copper, iron
  • Mr. McCammon is making tacos for dinner. He placed a pan on the stove and watched as the bottom of the pan became red hot. What type of thermal energy transfer occured between the pan and the stove and describe how the energy transfered.
    Conduction, the thermal energy transfered from the warmer stove to the cooler pan.
  • When heat moves from one object to another object through direct touch
    Conduction
  • Beams of sunlight travel through space and warm the atmosphere, what kind of heat transfer is occuring?
    Radiation
  • Define Conduction
    When heat moves from one object to another object through direct touch
  • Which of the following are also considered as insulators: Iron Copper Metal Minimizer Maximizer Plastic
    Minimizer and Plastic
  • Define Thermal Energy
    Energy from the motion of all atoms or molecules within a substance; transferred through heat from object to object
