10 Questions
What is the relationship between the number of molecules in an object and its total kinetic energy?
The more molecules an object has, the higher its total kinetic energy.
What is the difference between thermal energy and temperature?
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.
Which direction does energy always transfer?
From warmer things to cooler things.
What is the definition of equilibrium?
When two objects have the same average kinetic energy.
What is the effect of adding ice cubes to soup?
It decreases the total kinetic energy of the soup.
Which object has a higher total kinetic energy, soup or air?
Air, because it has more molecules.
What is the definition of total kinetic energy?
The sum of the kinetic energy of all molecules in an object or material.
What happens when the soup and the air in a room reach the same temperature?
Both the soup and the air will stop changing temperature
How does the transfer of kinetic energy affect different objects?
The same transfer of kinetic energy can have a different effect on the temperature of different objects.
Which statement is true about molecules with a higher kinetic energy?
They have a higher average kinetic energy.
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.
