Name:

Test 9
Bringing the Heat
GriffinScience

1. How is the thermal energy related to temperature and heat?

2. Why do some materials get hot more quickly than others?

3. What are the three forms of heat transfer? Please describe each.

4. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 5 kg’s of water by 10 K?

5. Suppose you are camping on a mountain, and the air temperature is very cold. How would you keep warm? Would you build a fire or set up a tent? Write an explanation for each action you would take. Tell whether conduction, convection or radiation is involved with each heat transfer.

We’ll work on this in class tomorrow but feel free to prepare beforehand!

Tomorrow you’ll have another (very similar) quiz on the six forms of energy, volume and density.

I’ll take the higher grade of the two quizzes as your grade. You’re welcome!
