Unit 1: Matter Quiz

Question 1

If temperature increases, what will the kinetic energy of the particles and the motion of the particles do?

Answer 1

The kinetic energy will increase, and the motion of the particles will increase

Question 2

If temperature decreases, what will the kinetic energy of the particles and the motion of the particles do?

Answer 2

The kinetic energy of the particles will decrease, and the motion of the particles will decrease

Question 3

If temperature does not change, what will the kinetic energy of the particles and the motion of the particles do?

Answer 3

The kinetic energy of the particles will stay the same, and the motion of the particles will stay the same

Question 4

How can you compare the kinetic energy of the particles in substances?

Answer 4

By using a thermometer

Question 5

What is thermal energy?

Answer 5

The kinetic energy of particles in solid liquid or gas

Question 6

Which has more thermal energy, a beaker with warm water or a beaker with cold water?

Answer 6

The warm water has more thermal energy than the colder water

Question 7

How does thermal energy get transferred from one substance to another?

Answer 7

Through conduction, convection, and radiation

Question 8

What is conduction?

Answer 8

The process of transferring energy by direct contact

Question 9

Rate the substances from less thermal energy to more thermal energy.

Answer 9

Solid have less thermal energy than liquids, and liquids have less than more energy than gases (solid, liquid, and gas)

Question 10

What happens when you put a thermometer in a hot substance?

Answer 10

The liquid in the thermometer rises

Question 11

What happens to the thermometer when you put it in a cold substance?

Answer 11

The thermometer contracts and the liquid goes down

Question 12

When the jar can becomes stuck, how can holding the lid under hot, running water, loosen it?

Answer 12

The hot water expands the metal, making it easier to open

Question 13

Bridges and other structures are often built with expansion joint. Why are expansion joints necessary?

Answer 13

To help the concrete, expand and contract without it breaking or cracking
