Science quiz 2

        Help!  

Term
Definition
heat   The movement of thermal energy from the area of higher temperature form an area of lower temperature.  
🗑
thermal energy   Both the potential and kinetic energy of particles  
🗑
temperature   Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of all of the particles in a substance  
🗑
conductor   Materials that allow thermal energy to flow easily through it.  
🗑
insulator   Materials that slow down the flow of thermal energy transfer through it.  
🗑
thermal expansion   As the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles spread out and the substance expands. The expanding of matter when it is heated.  
🗑
thermal equilibrium   when the temperatures of materials that are in contact are the same. Objects become the same temperature.  
🗑
The difference between a conductor and an insulator   Conductors allow thermal energy to flow easily. Insulators slow down the flow of thermal energy.  
🗑
Examples of conductors and insulators   A few examples of a conductor are silver, aluminium, and iron. A few examples of an insulator are paper, wood, and rubber. Electrons move freely within the conductor. Electrons do not move freely within the insulator.  
🗑
How does thermal energy affect particle motion? (solid, liquid, gasses)   A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them.  
🗑
What is dependent variable vs independent variable?   Dependent variable is the y axis which is going up and the independent variable is the x axis going across.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
