Physics – Heat

Here is an easy quiz on the topic of Heat (Physics). There are ten questions. The quiz is not timed.

Good luck.

1 / 10

Radiation is the transfer of heat through:

Electromagnetic waves

Direct contact

Movement of fluid particles

Movement of solid’s particles

2 / 10

Heat is measured in:

Pascals

Watts

Joules

Newtons

3 / 10

Convection is the transfer of heat through:

Direct contact

Movement of fluids

None of the above

Electromagnetic waves

4 / 10

What is the key distinction between heat and temperature?

Heat and temperature are the same

Temperature is the energy transferred between systems

Heat is a measure of temperature

Heat is the energy transferred between systems, while temperature measures average kinetic energy

5 / 10

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as law of conservation of energy, states that:

Energy can be created and destroyed

Energy transfer happens to make the temperature of the systems equal.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form into another.

Heat is the only form of energy

6 / 10

Heat transfer can occur via:

Conduction, convection, or radiation

Convection only

Conduction only

Radiation only

7 / 10

Heat is transferred between objects due to:

Volume difference

Pressure difference

Density difference

Temperature difference

8 / 10

What is thermal equilibrium?

The state in which two objects exchange heat continuously

None of the above

The state in which two objects are with same heat energy but at different temperatures

The state in which two objects in contact with each other no longer exchange heat and have the same temperature

9 / 10

The cause of heat energy: The energy that we feel as heat arises from the random motion (and collisions) of molecules in gases or liquids. In the case of solids, it is the vibration of the molecules or atoms we feel as heat.

False.

True.

10 / 10

Conduction is the transfer of heat through:

Movement of fluids

Sound waves

Direct contact between particles in a solid

Electromagnetic waves
