87% Answer Correctly

meter

gram

liter

3

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

diffusion

convection

radiation

conduction


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


4

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

work

kinetic energy

a force

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


5

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

insulators

refractors

reflectors

conductors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
