What is the relationship between the number of molecules in an object and its total kinetic energy?
What is the relationship between the number of molecules in an object and its total kinetic energy?
- The more molecules an object has, the lower its total kinetic energy.
- The more molecules an object has, the higher its total kinetic energy. (correct)
- The number of molecules in an object has no effect on its total kinetic energy.
- The total kinetic energy of an object is dependent on factors other than the number of molecules.
What is the difference between thermal energy and temperature?
What is the difference between thermal energy and temperature?
- Thermal energy is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in an object, while temperature is the measure of the total kinetic energy of an object.
- Thermal energy is the measure of the total kinetic energy of an object, while temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in an object. (correct)
- Thermal energy and temperature are the same thing.
- Thermal energy and temperature are unrelated concepts.
Which direction does energy always transfer?
Which direction does energy always transfer?
- From cooler things to warmer things.
- From warmer things to cooler things. (correct)
- Energy does not transfer between objects.
- Energy transfers equally in all directions.

Study Notes
- Adding ice cubes to soup can cool it down.
- Soup with more molecules has a higher total kinetic energy than soup with fewer molecules.
- Total kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energy of all molecules in an object or material.
- Thermal energy and temperature are not the same thing.
- Energy always transfers from warmer things to cooler things.
- The soup and the air in a room will eventually reach the same temperature through the transfer of kinetic energy.
- Air has a much higher total kinetic energy than soup due to the larger number of air molecules.
- Equilibrium is reached when two objects have the same average kinetic energy.
- The same transfer of kinetic energy can have a different effect on the temperature of different objects.
- More molecules in an object mean a higher total kinetic energy.
