Heat
• Thermal energy:
– The total energy (kinetic and potential) of the
submicroscopic particles that make up a
substance.
Temperature
– is the measure of hotness
or coldness of an object
(degrees Celsius, or
degrees Fahrenheit, or
kelvins).
– is related to the average
translational kinetic
energy per molecule in
a substance.
• Fahrenheit scale
freezing point of water: 32F
boiling point of water: 212F
division: 180 degree units
A. Temperature
B. Thermal energy
C. Both temperature and thermal energy
D. Neither temperature nor thermal energy
A. Temperature
B. Thermal energy
C. Both temperature and thermal energy
D. Neither temperature nor thermal energy
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the molecules is the
same, which means that the temperature is the same for
both.

Absolute Zero
A. decreases more.
B. increases more.
C. does not change.
D. There is not enough information.
A. decreases more.
B. increases more.
C. does not change.
D. There is not enough information.
A. 0C
B. 2C
C. 4C
D. 8C
A. 0C
B. 2C
C. 4C
D. 8C
A. increases.
B. decreases.
C. remains unchanged.
D. is no longer evident.
A. increases.
B. decreases.
C. remains unchanged.
D. is no longer evident.
Explanation:
In accord with the first law of thermodynamics, work input
increases the energy of the system.
A. increasing.
B. decreasing.
C. hanging steady.
D. nonexistent.
A. increasing.
B. decreasing.
C. hanging steady.
D. nonexistent.
Comment:
If your room became more organized each week, then entropy
would decrease in proportion to the effort expended.
A. Water
B. Land
C. Both of the above are
the same.
D. None of the above
A. Water
B. Land
C. Both of the above are the same.
D. None of the above
Explanation:
A substance with small temperature changes for large heat
changes has a high specific heat capacity. Water takes
much longer to heat up in the sunshine than does land.
This difference has a major influence on climate.
A. sag.
B. be taut.
C. be close to the ground.
D. allow ample space for birds.
A. sag.
B. be taut.
C. be close to the ground.
D. allow ample space for birds.
Explanation:
Telephone lines are longer in a warm summer and shorter in a cold
winter. Hence, they sag more on hot summer days than during the winter.
If the lines are not strung with enough sag in the summer, they might
contract too much and snap during the winter—especially when they are
covered with ice.
A. expands.
B. contracts.
C. remains unchanged.
D. There is not enough information.
A. expands.
B. contracts.
C. remains unchanged.
D. There is not enough information.
Explanation:
Water continues to contract until it reaches a
temperature of 4C. With further increase in
temperature beyond 4C, water then expands.

Expansion of Water
CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR
When a sample of 4C water is cooled, it
A. expands.
B. contracts.
C. remains unchanged.
D. There is not enough information.
A. expands.
B. contracts.
C. remains unchanged.
D. There is not enough information.
Explanation:
Parts of the water will crystallize and occupy more
space.

Heat Transfer
• Example:
When one end of a solid is placed near a heat
source, electrons and adjacent molecules gain
kinetic energy and start to move faster and
farther. They collide with neighboring molecules
and transfer some of their kinetic energy to
them. These molecules then interact with other
neighboring molecules, and thermal energy is
gradually transferred along the solid.
• Good conductors
– are composed of atoms with "loose" outer electrons.
– are known as poor insulators.
– Examples: all metals to varying degrees.
• Poor conductors
– delay the transfer of heat.
– are known as good insulators.
– Examples: wood, wool, straw, paper, cork, Styrofoam,
liquid, gases, air or materials with trapped air
A. Yes
B. In some cases, yes
C. No
D. In some cases, no
A. Yes
B. In some cases, yes
C. No
D. In some cases, no
Explanation:
Cold does not flow from the ice to your hand. Heat flows from
your hand to the ice. The metal is cold to your touch because
you are transferring heat to the metal.

Heat Transfer: Convection
Convection
– occurs in liquids and gases.
– involves the movement of warmer gases or
liquids to cooler surroundings.
Explanation:
Earth's atmosphere acts like a blanket, which keeps Earth
from freezing at nighttime.

Heat Transfer: Radiation
T of the emitter:
f T
A. lower.
B. higher.
C. unaffected.
D. none of the above
A. lower.
B. higher.
C. unaffected.
D. none of the above
Explanation:
If a good absorber were not also a good emitter, there would
be a net absorption of radiant energy, and the temperature of a
good absorber would remain higher than the temperature of
the surroundings. Nature is not so!

Absorption of Radiant Energy
A. Dirty snow
B. Clean snow
C. Both of the above
D. None of the above
A. Dirty snow
B. Clean snow
C. Both of the above
D. None of the above
Explanation:
Dirty snow absorbs more sunlight, whereas clean
snow reflects more.
